Let $W$ be a binary-input memoryless symmetric (BMS) channel with Shannon capacity $I(W)$ and fix any $\alpha > 0$. We construct, for any sufficiently small $\delta > 0$, binary linear codes of block length $O(1/\delta^{2+\alpha})$ and rate…

We construct integer error-correcting codes and covering codes for the limited-magnitude error channel with more than one error. The codes are lattices that pack or cover the space with the appropriate error ball. Some of the constructions…

It is well known that no quantum error correcting code of rate $R$ can correct adversarial errors on more than a $(1-R)/4$ fraction of symbols. But what if we only require our codes to *approximately* recover the message? We construct…
