A locally decodable code encodes n-bit strings x in m-bit codewords C(x), in such a way that one can recover any bit x_i from a corrupted codeword by querying only a few bits of that word. We use a quantum argument to prove that LDCs with 2…

We give a quantum reduction from finding short codewords in a random linear code to decoding for the Hamming metric. This is the first time such a reduction (classical or quantum) has been obtained. Our reduction adapts to linear codes…

The current best asymptotic lower bound on the minimum distance of quantum LDPC codes with fixed non-zero rate is logarithmic in the blocklength. We propose a construction of quantum LDPC codes with fixed non-zero rate and prove that the…

In relative entropy coding, a sender aims to design a stochastic code such that, on input $X \sim P_X$, the receiver can generate a sample $Y \sim P_{Y \mid X}$. It is a standard result that (1) this requires at least $I(X; Y)$ bits, (2)…
