contents We study the problem of constructing strong approximate unitary $k$-designs on $D$-dimensional grids (and more generally on Cartesian products of graphs), building on the work of Schuster et al. arXiv:2509.26310 which establishes strong unitary designs in 1D and in all-to-all connectivity. We provide two constructions. The first construction leverages the existing all-to-all connectivity result with general routing theory to provide flexible (but slightly suboptimal) strong $k$-designs in arbitrary connectivities. The second construction is more direct, requires no auxiliaries and has provably optimal depth (in the number of qubits $n$) for $D$-dimensional grids with constant dimension. Combining these techniques also allows us to construct strong pseudorandom unitaries on $D$-dimensional grids with provably optimal depth.
