چکیده

Surface codes are among the best candidates to ensure the fault-tolerance of a quantum computer. In order to avoid the accumulation of errors during a computation, it is crucial to have at our disposal a fast decoding algorithm to quickly identify and correct errors as soon as they occur. We propose a linear-time maximum likelihood decoder for surface codes over the quantum erasure channel. This decoding algorithm for dealing with qubit loss is optimal both in terms of performance and speed.

On-the-Fly Maximum-Likelihood Decoding of Raptor Codes over the Binary Erasure Channel

In this letter, we propose an efficient on-the-fly algorithm for maximum-likelihood decoding of Raptor codes used over the binary erasure channel. It is shown that our proposed decoding algorithm can reduce the actual elapsed decoding time by more than two-thirds with respect to an optimized conventional maximum-likelihood decoding. key words: raptor codes, on-the-fly decoding, maximum-likeliho...

Optimal Coding for the Erasure Channel with Arbitrary Alphabet Size

An erasure channel with a fixed alphabet size q, where q ≫ 1, is studied . It is proved that over any erasure channel (with or without memory), Maximum Distance Separable (MDS) codes achieve the minimum probability of error (assuming maximum likelihood decoding). Assuming a memoryless erasure channel, the error exponent of MDS codes are compared with that of random codes and linear random codes...

New Two-Stage Automorphism Group Decoders for Cyclic Codes in the Erasure Channel

Recently, error correcting codes in the erasure channel have drawn great attention for various applications such as distributed storage systems and wireless sensor networks, but many of their decoding algorithms are not practical because they have higher decoding complexity and longer delay. Thus, the automorphism group decoder (AGD) for cyclic codes in the erasure channel was introduced, which...

BP-LED decoding algorithm for LDPC codes over AWGN channels

A new method for low-complexity near-maximum-likelihood (ML) decoding of low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes over the additive white Gaussian noise channel is presented. The proposed method termed beliefpropagation–list erasure decoding (BP-LED) is based on erasing carefully chosen unreliable bits performed in case of BP decoding failure. A strategy of introducing erasures into the received v...

Study of Turbo Codes and Decoding in Binary Erasure Channel Based on Stopping Set Analysis

In this paper, we define a stopping set of turbo codes with the iterative decoding in the binary erasure channel. Based on the stopping set analysis, we study the block and bit erasure probabilities of turbo codes and the performance degradation of the iterative decoding against the maximum-likelihood decoding. The error floor performance of turbo codes with the iterative decoding is dominated ...
