Combining a concise diagrammatic formalism with high-precision numerical methods, our approach efficiently evaluates high-order, long-range Pauli string couplings and maps complete chip layouts onto exact effective Hamiltonians. Applying this method to surface-code architectures, such as Google's Sycamore lattice, we identify three distinct operational regimes: computationally stable, error-dominated, and hierarchy-inverted. Our analysis reveals that even modest increases in residual qubit-qubit crosstalk can invert the interaction hierarchy, driving the system from a computationally favorable phase into a topologically ordered regime. This framework thus serves as a powerful guide for optimizing next-generation high-fidelity surface-code hardware and provides a pathway to investigate emergent quantum many-body phenomena. 001048448 536__ $$0G:(DE-HGF)POF4-5221$$a5221 - Advanced Solid-State Qubits and Qubit Systems (POF4-522)$$cPOF4-522$$fPOF IV$$x0 001048448 588__ $$aDataset connected to arXivarXiv 001048448 7001_ $$0P:(DE-Juel1)204487$$aKaur, Kuljeet$$b1$$ufzj 001048448 7001_ $$0P:(DE-HGF)0$$aVignes, Chloé$$b2 001048448 7001_ $$0P:(DE-Juel1)171686$$aAnsari, Mohammad H.$$b3$$ufzj 001048448 7001_ $$0P:(DE-HGF)0$$aMartinis, John M.$$b4 001048448 909CO $$ooai:juser.fz-juelich.de:1048448$$pVDB 001048448 9101_ $$0I:(DE-588b)5008462-8$$6P:(DE-Juel1)176178$$aForschungszentrum Jülich$$b0$$kFZJ 001048448 9101_ $$0I:(DE-588b)5008462-8$$6P:(DE-Juel1)204487$$aForschungszentrum Jülich$$b1$$kFZJ 001048448 9101_ $$0I:(DE-588b)5008462-8$$6P:(DE-Juel1)171686$$aForschungszentrum Jülich$$b3$$kFZJ 001048448 9131_ $$0G:(DE-HGF)POF4-522$$1G:(DE-HGF)POF4-520$$2G:(DE-HGF)POF4-500$$3G:(DE-HGF)POF4$$4G:(DE-HGF)POF$$9G:(DE-HGF)POF4-5221$$aDE-HGF$$bKey Technologies$$lNatural, Artificial and Cognitive Information Processing$$vQuantum Computing$$x0 001048448 9141_ $$y2025 001048448 920__ $$lyes 001048448 9201_ $$0I:(DE-Juel1)PGI-2-20110106$$kPGI-2$$lTheoretische Nanoelektronik$$x0 001048448 980__ $$apreprint 001048448 980__ $$aVDB 001048448 980__ $$aI:(DE-Juel1)PGI-2-20110106 001048448 980__ $$aUNRESTRICTED
