Generalized bicycle (GB) codes is a class of quantum error-correcting codes constructed from a pair of binary circulant matrices. Unlike for other simple quantum code ans\"atze, unrestricted GB codes may have linear distance scaling. In…
Like classical block codes, a locally repairable code also obeys the Singleton-type bound (we call a locally repairable code {\it optimal} if it achieves the Singleton-type bound). In the breakthrough work of \cite{TB14}, several classes of…
In this paper we focus on modules over a finite chain ring $\mathcal{R}$ of size $q^s$. We compute the density of free modules of $\mathcal{R}^n$, where we separately treat the asymptotics in $n,q$ and $s$. In particular, we focus on two…
We consider the problem of describing the typical (possibly) non-linear code of minimum distance bounded from below over a large alphabet. We concentrate on block codes with the Hamming metric and on subspace codes with the injection…
Consider a linear [n,k,d]_q code C. We say that that i-th coordinate of C has locality r, if the value at this coordinate can be recovered from accessing some other r coordinates of C. Data storage applications require codes with small…
New asymptotic upper bounds are presented on the rate of sequences of locally repairable codes (LRCs) with a prescribed relative minimum distance and locality over a finite field $F$. The bounds apply to LRCs in which the recovery functions…

In this paper we present several classes of asymptotically good concatenated quantum codes and derive lower bounds on the minimum distance and rate of the codes. We compare these bounds with the best-known bound of…
The problem of correcting transpositions (or swaps) of consecutive symbols in $ q $-ary strings is studied. Lower bounds on asymptotically achievable rates of codes correcting $ t = \tau n $ transpositions are derived. The first bound is…

We study the problem of constructing explicit codes whose rate and distance match the Gilbert-Varshamov bound in the low-rate, high-distance regime. In 2017, Ta-Shma gave an explicit family of codes where every pair of codewords has…
It is an important task to construct quantum maximum-distance-separable (MDS) codes with good parameters. In the present paper, we provide six new classes of q-ary quantum MDS codes by using generalized Reed-Solomon (GRS) codes and…
The Pearson distance has been advocated for improving the error performance of noisy channels with unknown gain and offset. The Pearson distance can only fruitfully be used for sets of $q$-ary codewords, called Pearson codes, that satisfy…
We study properties of rank metric and codes in rank metric over finite fields. We show that in rank metric perfect codes do not exist. We derive an existence bound that is the equivalent of the Gilbert--Varshamov bound in Hamming metric.…
