We introduce the hemicubic codes, a family of quantum codes obtained by associating qubits with the $p$-faces of the $n$-cube (for $n>p$) and stabilizer constraints with faces of dimension $(p\pm1)$. The quantum code obtained by identifying…

We study uniquely decodable codes and list decodable codes in the high-noise regime, specifically codes that are uniquely decodable from $\frac{1-\varepsilon}{2}$ fraction of errors and list decodable from $1-\varepsilon$ fraction of…

We consider the decoding of linear and array codes from errors when we are only allowed to download a part of the codeword. More specifically, suppose that we have encoded $k$ data symbols using an $(n,k)$ code with code length $n$ and…

We prove that for any additive noise channel over $\mathbb{F}_q$, there exist error-correcting codes approaching channel capacity encodable by arithmetic circuits (with weighted addition gates) over $\mathbb{F}_q$ of size $O(n)$ and depth…

Quantum low-density parity-check (qLDPC) codes are an important component in the quest for quantum fault tolerance. Dramatic recent progress on qLDPC codes has led to constructions which are asymptotically good, and which admit linear-time…

We show a nearly optimal lower bound on the length of linear relaxed locally decodable codes (RLDCs). Specifically, we prove that any $q$-query linear RLDC $C\colon \{0,1\}^k \to \{0,1\}^n$ must satisfy $n = k^{1+\Omega(1/q)}$. This bound…

Quantum low-density parity-check codes are a promising candidate for fault-tolerant quantum computing with considerably reduced overhead compared to the surface code. However, the lack of a practical decoding algorithm remains a barrier to…

A locally recoverable code (LRC code) is a code over a finite alphabet such that every symbol in the encoding is a function of a small number of other symbols that form a recovering set. Bounds on the rate and distance of such codes have…
