Optimal local unitary encoding circuits for the surface code

The surface code is a leading candidate quantum error correcting code, owing to its high threshold, and compatibility with existing experimental architectures. Bravyi {et al.} \cite{bravyi2006lieb} showed that encoding a state in the surface code using local unitary operations requires time at least...
