We propose two systematic constructions of deletion-correcting codes for protecting quantum information. The first one works with qudits of any dimension, but only one deletion is corrected and the constructed codes are asymptotically bad.…

This paper addresses fundamental challenges in two-dimensional error correction by constructing optimal codes for \emph{criss-cross deletions}. We consider an $ n \times n $ array $\boldsymbol{X}$ over a $ q $-ary alphabet $\Sigma_q := \{0,…

One peculiarity with deletion-correcting codes is that perfect $t$-deletion-correcting codes of the same length over the same alphabet can have different numbers of codewords, because the balls of radius $t$ with respect to the…

We study error-correcting codes in the space $\mathcal{S}_{n,q}$ of length-$n$ multisets over a $q$-ary alphabet, motivated by permutation channels in which ordering is completely lost and errors act solely by deletions of symbols, i.e., by…

Non-binary codes correcting multiple deletions have recently attracted a lot of attention. In this work, we focus on multiplicity-free codes, a family of non-binary codes where all symbols are distinct. Our main contribution is a new…

Recent work by Smagloy et al. (ISIT 2020) shows that the redundancy of a single-deletion $s$-substitution correcting code is asymptotically at least $(s+1)\log n+o(\log n)$, where $n$ is the length of the codes. They also provide a…
