Abstract
We construct a quantum low-density parity-check code family from a length- Calderbank--Shor--Steane base matrix pair. The base pair is permutation-equivalent to the known SPC(3) product CSS code, and the present affine-coset description gives a direct proof that both Tanner graphs are -regular with girth . The base code has parameters . We then apply circulant permutation matrix (CPM) lifts. The main decoding experiment uses the CPM-lifted code with lift factor , which has parameters , under the code-capacity depolarizing model. A belief-propagation decoder with post-processing achieved frame error rate about at , and one observed logical residual of weight gives a decoder-derived upper bound .
