Fewest CX gates for a Hubbard Trotter step of Pauli rotations

On current hardware, two-qubit gates take most of the time and cause most of the errors of a Hamiltonian-simulation circuit. A product-formula step is repeated many times, so a CX saved in one step is saved in every step.

4 × 4 Hubbard lattice (32 qubits, 112 rotations). Fewer CX gates rank first. Ties are ranked by fewer operations in total (single-qubit gates and rotations included), then by submission number (lower first). Each participant appears once, with their best accepted submission. Scores are public; a participant can keep the file itself private.
