This paper considers coding for so-called partially stuck memory cells. Such memory cells can only store partial information as some of their levels cannot be used due to, e.g., wear out. First, we present a new code construction for…

Quantum low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes are an important class of quantum error correcting codes. In such codes, each qubit only affects a constant number of syndrome bits, and each syndrome bit only relies on some constant number of…
