We construct a family of constant-rate highly-symmetric self-dual qLDPC codes on high dimensional expanders. This is the first self-dual code constructed on high dimensional expanders and also the first such code with a rich (e.g.…

In this paper, we construct protograph-based spatially coupled low-density parity-check (SC-LDPC) codes by coupling together a series of L disjoint, or uncoupled, LDPC code Tanner graphs into a single coupled chain. By varying L, we obtain…

A code $C \subseteq \F_2^n$ is a $(c,\epsilon,\delta)$-expander code if it has a Tanner graph, where every variable node has degree $c$, and every subset of variable nodes $L_0$ such that $|L_0|\leq \delta n$ has at least $\epsilon c |L_0|$…

Motivated by the structural analogies between point lattices and linear error-correcting codes, and by the mature theory on locally testable codes, we initiate a systematic study of local testing for membership in lattices. Testing…
