Gabidulin codes are the first general construction of linear codes that are maximum rank distant (MRD). They have found applications in linear network coding, for example, when the transmitter and receiver are oblivious to the inner…

We propose the use of certain low-density generator-matrix (LDGM) codes as syndrome measurement (SM) codes for quantum low-density parity check (QLDPC) codes. We use an efficient progressive-edge-growth-like algorithm to create LDGM SM…

The projective space of order $n$ over a finite field $\F_q$ is a set of all subspaces of the vector space $\F_q^{n}$. In this work, we consider error-correcting codes in the projective space, focusing mainly on constant dimension codes. We…
In this work we present a new criterion to check if a given rank-metric code is a maximum rank distance (MRD) code. Moreover, we derive a criterion to check if a given MRD code is a generalized Gabidulin code. We then use these results to…
In the last decade there has been a great interest in extending results for codes equipped with the Hamming metric to analogous results for codes endowed with the rank metric. This work follows this thread of research and studies the…
Let $\mathcal{C}$ be a set of $m$ by $n$ matrices over $\mathbb{F}_q$ such that the rank of $A-B$ is at least $d$ for all distinct $A,B\in \mathcal{C}$. Suppose that $m\leqslant n$. If $\#\mathcal{C}= q^{n(m-d+1)}$, then $\mathcal{C}$ is a…
Both maximum distance separable (MDS) codes that are not equivalent to generalized Reed-Solomon (GRS) codes (non-GRS MDS codes) and near MDS (NMDS) codes have nice applications in communication and storage systems. In this paper, we…
We introduce fair-density parity-check (FDPC) codes targeting high-rate applications. In particular, we start with a base parity-check matrix $H_b$ of dimension $2 \sqrt{n} \times n$, where $n$ is the code block length, and the number of…
It is a major challenge to construct good quantum codes supporting fault-tolerant (e.g. transversal) non-Clifford gates with low-weight parity-check measurements. In this paper, we construct the first known quantum codes with linear…
Subspace codes and rank-metric codes can be used to correct errors and erasures in network, with linear network coding. Subspace codes were introduced by Koetter and Kschischang to correct errors and erasures in networks where topology is…
We consider linear rank-metric codes in $\mathbb F_{q^m}^n$. We show that the properties of being MRD (maximum rank distance) and non-Gabidulin are generic over the algebraic closure of the underlying field, which implies that over a large…
In this paper, we introduce code distances, a new family of invariants for linear codes. We establish some properties and prove bounds on the code distances, and show that they are not invariants of the matroid (for a linear block code) or…

Let $\mathscr{S}_n(q)$ denote the set of symmetric bilinear forms over an $n$-dimensional $\mathbb{F}_q$-vector space. A subset $\mathcal{C}$ of $\mathscr{S}_n(q)$ is called a $d$-code if the rank of $A-B$ is larger than or equal to $d$ for…
