Efficient and realistic error decoding is crucial for fault-tolerant quantum computation (FTQC) on near-term devices. While decoding is a classical post-processing task, its effectiveness depends on accurately modeling quantum noise, which…
Erasure list decoding was introduced to correct a larger number of erasures with output of a list of possible candidates. In the present paper, we consider both random linear codes and algebraic geometry codes for list decoding erasure…
A distributed lossy compression network with $L$ encoders and a decoder is considered. Each encoder observes a source and sends a compressed version to the decoder. The decoder produces a joint reconstruction of target signals with the mean…
It is known that the Shannon capacity of the q-ary symmetric channel (qSC) is the same as the list-decoding capacity of an adversarial channel, raising the question of whether there is a formal (and black-box) connection between the two. We…

We derive a new upper bound on the reliability function for channel coding over discrete memoryless channels. Our bounding technique relies on two main elements: (i) adding an auxiliary genie-receiver that reveals to the original receiver a…

We study the error detection problem in $ q $-ary asymmetric channels wherein every input symbol $ x_i $ is mapped to an output symbol $ y_i $ satisfying $ y_i \geq x_i $. A general setting is assumed where the noise vectors are…
We extend a low-rate improvement of the random coding bound on the reliability of a classical discrete memoryless channel to its quantum counterpart. The key observation that we make is that the problem of bounding below the error exponent…
This paper investigates fundamental properties of nonlinear binary codes by looking at the codebook matrix not row-wise (codewords), but column-wise. The family of weak flip codes is presented and shown to contain many beautiful properties.…
We consider upper bounds on the error probability in channel coding. We derive an improved maximum-likelihood union bound, which takes into account events where the likelihood of the correct codeword is tied with that of some competitors.…
Random linear codes are a workhorse in coding theory, and are used to show the existence of codes with the best known or even near-optimal trade-offs in many noise models. However, they have little structure besides linearity, and are not…
In this paper, we first introduce the concept of elementary linear subspace, which has similar properties to those of a set of coordinates. We then use elementary linear subspaces to derive properties of maximum rank distance (MRD) codes…
In this paper, we present an improved union bound on the Linear Programming (LP) decoding performance of the binary linear codes transmitted over an additive white Gaussian noise channels. The bounding technique is based on the second-order…
We show that any q-ary code with sufficiently good distance can be randomly punctured to obtain, with high probability, a code that is list decodable up to radius $1 - 1/q - \epsilon$ with near-optimal rate and list sizes. Our results imply…
There are two main factors limiting the performance of quantum key distribution --- channel transmission loss and noise. Previously, a linear bound was believed to put an upper limit on the rate-transmittance performance. Remarkably, the…
