Because of its high data density and longevity, DNA is emerging as a promising candidate for satisfying increasing data storage needs. Compared to conventional storage media, however, data stored in DNA is subject to a wider range of errors…
We introduce the sum channel, a new channel model motivated by applications in distributed storage and DNA data storage. In the error-free case, it takes as input an $\ell$-row binary matrix and outputs an $(\ell+1)$-row matrix whose first…
Memoryless channels with deletion errors as defined by a stochastic channel matrix allowing for bit drop outs are considered in which transmitted bits are either independently deleted with probability $d$ or unchanged with probability…
Motivated by applications in DNA storage, we study a setting in which strings are affected by tandem-duplication errors. In particular, we look at two settings: disjoint tandem-duplication errors, and equal-length tandem-duplication errors.…
In this paper, we consider the outer channel for DNA-based data storage. When transmitting over the outer channel, each DNA string is treated as a unit/symbol that would be either correctly received, or erased, or corrupted by uniformly…
The zero-error capacity of a channel is the rate at which it can send information perfectly, with zero probability of error, and has long been studied in classical information theory. We show that the zero-error capacity of quantum channels…

Given a probability distribution $\mathcal{D}$ over the non-negative integers, a $\mathcal{D}$-repeat channel acts on an input symbol by repeating it a number of times distributed as $\mathcal{D}$. For example, the binary deletion channel…
