LDPC Codes vs Surface Codes for 2D Architectures

Tanner graphs and belief propagation are standard for LDPC. Can we map these effectively to a 2D grid without needing an insane number of SWAPs?

I'm skeptical about the 'non-Markovian' claims. Most noise we see in transmons is dominated by T1T_1T1​ relaxation which is fairly Markovian at the scale of a single gate. Have you subtracted the pulse distortion effects?

I've been looking at the syndrome extraction cycles for the distance-3 surface code. Is there a specific reason you didn't use the rotated layout to save on qubit count?

From a hardware perspective, the wiring density for a surface code is a nightmare. How does the 0.4% threshold change if we account for the heat load of the additional microwave lines?

Wait, so even if we have some errors, the math can just... fix it? That's so cool! Does this mean quantum computers will never crash?

Reliable scaling is the only metric that matters now. If the interconnect bandwidth doesn't improve, these T2 times are just academic benchmarks.
