The inherent degeneracy of quantum low-density parity-check codes poses a challenge to their decoding, as it significantly degrades the error-correction performance of classical message-passing decoders. To improve their performance, a…
Unequal transition probabilities between input and output symbols, input power constraints, or input symbols of unequal durations can lead to non-uniform capacity achieving input distributions for communication channels. Using uniform input…
In a digital communication system, information is sent from one place to another over a noisy communication channel. It may be possible to detect and correct errors that occur during the transmission if one encodes the original information…
