We describe a space-time optimized circuit for the table lookup subroutine from lattice-surgery surface code primitives respecting 2D grid connectivity. Table lookup circuits are ubiquitous in quantum computing, allowing the presented circuit to be used for applications ranging from cryptography to quantum chemistry. Surface code is the leading approach to scalable fault-tolerant quantum computing pursued by industry and academia. We abstract away surface code implementation details by using a minimal set of operations supported by the surface code via lattice-surgery. Our exposition is accessible to a reader not familiar with surface codes and fault-tolerant quantum computing.

The automated development of a new ab initio full-dimensional potential energy surface (PES) is reported for the CH$_4\cdot$F$^-$ complex using the ROBOSURFER program package. The new potential provides a near-spectroscopic quality description over a broad configuration range including the methane-ion dissociation, as well as isolated methane vibrations. In particular, it improves upon the earlier [Czakó, Braams, Bowman (2008)] PES over intermediate methane-fluoride distances. Full-dimensional (12D) variational vibrational computations using the new PES and the GENIUSH-Smolyak algorithm show that tunneling splittings larger than 0.1 cm$^{-1}$ appear below the top of the interconversion barrier of the four equivalent minima of the complex.
