For fault-tolerant quantum computing architectures, this work provides tight bounds on block routing overhead, enabling more efficient compilation of surface code computations.

The paper analyzes permutation routing of rigid surface code blocks on reconfigurable lattices, proving that the block routing number is Θ(d_C log N_L). It integrates error model analysis and syndrome extraction protocols, showing that routing becomes the leading-order contributor to overall depth.

We analyze permutation routing of rigid blocks representing surface code patches of $d_C^2$ atoms on a reconfigurable lattice with hypergraph transformations. For a hypergraph $H$, code distance $d_C$, $s=d_C^2$, number of blocks $N_L$, and guard distance $g$, we show the block routing number $\mathrm{rt}_B(H, s, g) = Θ(d_C \log N_L)$. A spectral analysis of the quotient graph $Q(G_{\mathrm{cl}}(H), B)$ (blocks as supervertices) shows that the spectral ratio $β_Q < 1$ is preserved in the high-connectivity regime. Negative association of block permutations and congestion bounds are used for random intermediate configurations. Serialization establishes that each quotient routing phase requires $O(d_C)$ physical sub-steps due to the block footprint width. A lower bound $\mathrm{rt}_B = Ω(d_C \log N_L)$ follows from combining the spectral lower bound on quotient phases with the traversal cost per phase. We include error model analysis grounded in recent experimental results, syndrome extraction protocols (stop-and-correct, rolling active fault-tolerant (AFT) measurement, and adaptive deformation), and integration with lattice surgery compilation via the Litinski protocol. Composition with the correlated-decoding scheme reduces syndrome-extraction overhead from $O(d_C)$ to $O(1)$ per correction window, leaving routing as the leading-order contributor to the integrated $O(d_C \log N_L)$ depth. Spectral inheritance is organized in a hierarchy: exact (Haemers interlacing on equitable partitions), perturbative (Weyl bounds for near-equitable partitions, a practically relevant case for surface-code patches), and universal (higher-order Cheeger). Methods extend directly to QCCD trapped-ion architectures under the same regime condition, with junction crossings replacing AOD transports as the elementary single-hop translation.
