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.

Methods for experimental reconstruction of molecular frame (MF) photoionization dynamics, and related properties - specifically MF photoelectron angular distributions (PADs) and continuum density matrices - are outlined and discussed. General concepts are introduced for the non-expert reader, and experimental and theoretical techniques are further outlined in some depth. Particular focus is placed on a detailed example of numerical reconstruction techniques for matrix-element retrieval from time-domain experimental measurements making use of rotational-wavepackets (i.e. aligned frame measurements) - the ``bootstrapping to the MF" methodology - and a matrix-inversion technique for direct MF-PAD recovery. Ongoing resources for interested researchers are also introduced, including sample data, reconstruction codes (the \textit{Photoelectron Metrology Toolkit}, written in python, and associated \textit{Quantum Metrology with Photoelectrons} platform/ecosystem), and literature via online repositories; it is hoped these resources will be of ongoing use to the community.
