Abstract: Limited qubit connectivity is a central architectural constraint in superconducting quantum processors, whose planar layouts require additional gates to mediate interactions between distant qubits. Here, we use the AshN control scheme, where rich two-qubit control on every nearest-neighbour pair allows a logical interaction and the required qubit routing to be merged into a single native operation, effectively transforming a sparse hardware graph into a more connected computational architecture. For the benchmark instances studied, the resulting synthesis capability enables reliable execution on constrained one- and two-dimensional lattices, with compiled two-qubit gate counts approaching those of an all-to-all-connected reference. Across seven benchmark circuits on one- and two-dimensional topologies, the AshN-based implementation achieves geometric-mean reductions of $45.2\%$ and $43.7\%$ in two-qubit gate count compared with controlled-Z-based compilation, respectively. Using AshN gates, we prepare an eight-qubit two-excitation Dicke state with a fidelity of $0.736$ and certify its genuine multipartite entanglement using a fully positive-partial-transpose witness, whereas the same witness does not certify entanglement for the CZ-based implementation. The state fidelity and entanglement certification remain robust across the tested lattice configurations, including those with up to three connectivity defects. Our work establishes native-gate engineering as a practical approach to mitigating connectivity constraints.
