Abstract

We construct a quantum low-density parity-check code family from a length-512512 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 (3,8)(3,8)-regular with girth 88. The base code has parameters [[512,174,8]][[512,174,8]]. We then apply circulant permutation matrix (CPM) lifts. The main decoding experiment uses the CPM-lifted code with lift factor P=32P=32, which has parameters [[16384,4142,40]][[16384,4142,\le 40]], under the code-capacity depolarizing model. A belief-propagation decoder with post-processing achieved frame error rate about 10810^{-8} at p=0.085p=0.085, and one observed logical residual of weight 4040 gives a decoder-derived upper bound d40d\le 40.
