Abstract: We use macroscopic fluctuation theory (MFT) to establish the typicality of charge-transfer statistics and entanglement dynamics in the quantum symmetric exclusion process, a model of stochastically hopping free fermions with diffusive transport and long-range quantum coherence. We show that the leading long-time charge-transfer full counting statistics of individual noise realizations coincide almost surely with those of the classical symmetric exclusion process (SSEP), in equilibrium and following quenches from arbitrary occupation-diagonal product states. Our results apply to transient fluctuations in the thermodynamic limit, extending previous work that has primarily focused on stationary regimes. Our approach compares the noise averages of the charge-transfer generating function and its inverse. The former reduces to SSEP, while the latter maps to an auxiliary Brownian energy process whose MFT saddle-point problem is related to that of SSEP, yielding matching large-deviation exponents. Through free-fermion identities relating entanglement to subsystem-number fluctuations, this establishes the self-averaging of the covariance-matrix eigenvalue distribution and of R\'enyi and von Neumann entropies. We obtain asymptotically exact predictions for entanglement growth from domain-wall and N\'eel initial states, in excellent agreement with numerical simulations.
