We show that Reed-Muller codes achieve capacity under maximum a posteriori bit decoding for transmission over the binary erasure channel for all rates $0 < R < 1$. The proof is generic and applies to other codes with sufficient amount of…
We consider the maximum coding rate achievable by uniformly-random codes for the deletion channel. We prove an upper bound that's within 0.1 of the best known lower bounds for all values of the deletion probability $d,$ and much closer for…
The performance of an error correcting code is evaluated by its error probability, rate, and en/decoding complexity. The performance of a series of codes is evaluated by, as the block lengths approach infinity, whether their error…

We present a capacity-achieving coding scheme for unicast or multicast over lossy packet networks. In the scheme, intermediate nodes perform additional coding yet do not decode nor even wait for a block of packets before sending out coded…

Random quantum circuits have played a central role in establishing the computational advantages of near-term quantum computers over their conventional counterparts. Here, we use ensembles of low-depth random circuits with local connectivity…
The sequence reconstruction problem, introduced by Levenshtein in 2001, considers a communication setting in which a sender transmits a codeword and the receiver observes K independent noisy versions of this codeword. In this work, we study…
Channels with synchronization errors, such as deletion and insertion errors, are crucial in DNA storage, data reconstruction, and other applications. These errors introduce memory to the channel, complicating its capacity analysis. This…
