  "abstract": "Trapped-ion quantum simulators are powerful platforms for exploring many-body physics, yet engineering of arbitrary interaction graphs remains a central challenge. To leverage the intrinsic structure of native motional modes and thereby enhance programmability, a residual-guided optimization protocol is introduced for the systematic design of multi-tone global drive spectra. While the achievable interaction fidelity is fundamentally bounded by the available motional modes, this adaptive strategy converges on the theoretical limit using a number of laser tones that scales nearly linearly with system size. The versatility of this method enables the synthesis of both long-range and traditionally difficult short-range coupling topologies. Additionally, by incorporating a penalty for residual motional excitation, the algorithm effectively mitigates errors associated with incomplete closure of phase-space trajectories. Overall, this scalable framework significantly expands the programmable capabilities of trapped-ion architectures while maintaining low computational overhead and high potential for experimental implementation.",
