Fifteen years of quantum LDPC coding and improved decoding strategies
The near-capacity performance of classical low-density parity check (LDPC) codes and their efficient iterative decoding makes quantum LDPC (QLPDC) codes a promising candidate for quantum error correction. In this paper, we present a comprehensive survey of QLDPC codes from the perspective of code design as well as in terms of their decoding algorithms. We also conceive a modified non-binary decoding algorithm for homogeneous Calderbank-Shor-Steane-type QLDPC codes, which is capable of alleviating the problems imposed by the unavoidable length-four cycles. Our modified decoder outperforms the state-of-the-art decoders in terms of their word error rate performance, despite imposing a reduced decoding complexity. Finally, we intricately amalgamate our modified decoder with the classic uniformly reweighted belief propagation for the sake of achieving an improved performance.

Abstract

The near-capacity performance of classical low-density parity check (LDPC) codes and their efficient iterative decoding makes quantum LDPC (QLPDC) codes a promising candidate for quantum error correction. In this paper, we present a comprehensive survey of QLDPC codes from the perspective of code design as well as in terms of their decoding algorithms. We also conceive a modified non-binary decoding algorithm for homogeneous Calderbank-Shor-Steane-type QLDPC codes, which is capable of alleviating the problems imposed by the unavoidable length-four cycles. Our modified decoder outperforms the state-of-the-art decoders in terms of their word error rate performance, despite imposing a reduced decoding complexity. Finally, we intricately amalgamate our modified decoder with the classic uniformly reweighted belief propagation for the sake of achieving an improved performance.
