Existence of quantum low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes whose minimal distance scales linearly with the number of qubits is a major open problem in quantum information. Its practical interest stems from the need to protect information in a future quantum computer, and its theoretical appeal relates to a deep global-to-local notion in quantum mechanics: whether we can constrain long-range entanglement using local checks. Given the inability of lattice-based quantum LDPC codes to achieve linear distance, research has recently shifted to the other extreme end of topologies, so called high-dimensional expanders. In this work we show that trying to leverage the mere random-like property of these expanders to find good quantum codes may be futile: quantum CSS codes of $n$ quits built from $d$-complexes that are $varepsilon$-far from perfectly random, in a well-known sense called discrepancy, have a small minimal distance. Quantum codes aside, our work places a first upper-bound on the systole of high-dimensional expanders with small discrepancy, and a lower-bound on the discrepancy of skeletons of Ramanujan complexes due to Lubotzky.

Quantum LDPC codes are a promising direction for low overhead quantum computing. In this paper, we propose a generalization of the Union-Find decoder as adecoder for quantum LDPC codes. We prove that this decoder corrects all errors with weight up to An^{alpha} for some A, {alpha} > 0 for different classes of quantum LDPC codes such as toric codes and hyperbolic codes in any dimension D geq 3 and quantum expander codes. To prove this result, we introduce a notion of covering radius which measures the spread of an error from its syndrome. We believe this notion could find application beyond the decoding problem. We also perform numerical simulations, which show that our Union-Find decoder outperforms the belief propagation decoder in the low error rate regime in the case of a quantum LDPC code with length 3600.
We present a quantum LDPC code family that has distance $Omega(N^{3/5}/operatorname{polylog}(N))$ and $tildeTheta(N^{3/5})$ logical qubits. This is the first quantum LDPC code construction which achieves distance greater than $N^{1/2} operatorname{po lylog}(N)$. The construction is based on generalizing the homological product of codes to a fiber bundle.

We utilize a concatenation scheme to construct new families of quantum error correction codes that include the Bacon-Shor codes. We show that our scheme can lead to asymptotically good quantum codes while Bacon-Shor codes cannot. Further, the concate nation scheme allows us to derive quantum LDPC codes of distance $Omega(N^{2/3}/loglog N)$ which can improve Hastingss recent result [arXiv:2102.10030] by a polylogarithmic factor. Moreover, assisted by the Evra-Kaufman-Zemor distance balancing construction, our concatenation scheme can yield quantum LDPC codes with non-vanishing code rates and better minimum distance upper bound than the hypergraph product quantum LDPC codes. Finally, we derive a family of fast encodable and decodable quantum concatenated codes with parameters ${Q}=[[N,Omega(sqrt{N}),Omega( sqrt{N})]]$ and they also belong to the Bacon-Shor codes. We show that ${Q}$ can be encoded very efficiently by circuits of size $O(N)$ and depth $O(sqrt{N})$, and can correct any adversarial error of weight up to half the minimum distance bound in $O(sqrt{N})$ time. To the best of our knowledge, they are the most powerful quantum codes for correcting so many adversarial errors in sublinear time by far.
Coherent errors are a dominant noise process in many quantum computing architectures. Unlike stochastic errors, these errors can combine constructively and grow into highly detrimental overrotations. To combat this, we introduce a simple technique fo r suppressing systematic coherent errors in low-density parity-check (LDPC) stabilizer codes, which we call stabilizer slicing. The essential idea is to slice low-weight stabilizers into two equally-weighted Pauli operators and then apply them by rotating in opposite directions, causing their overrotations to interfere destructively on the logical subspace. With access to native gates generated by 3-body Hamiltonians, we can completely eliminate purely coherent overrotation errors, and for overrotation noise of 0.99 unitarity we achieve a 135-fold improvement in the logical error rate of Surface-17. For more conventional 2-body ion trap gates, we observe an 89-fold improvement for Bacon-Shor-13 with purely coherent errors which should be testable in near-term fault-tolerance experiments. This second scheme takes advantage of the prepared gauge degrees of freedom, and to our knowledge is the first example in which the state of the gauge directly affects the robustness of a codes memory. This work demonstrates that coherent noise is preferable to stochastic noise within certain code and gate implementations when the coherence is utilized effectively.
In the practical continuous-variable quantum key distribution (CV-QKD) system, the postprocessing process, particularly the error correction part, significantly impacts the system performance. Multi-edge type low-density parity-check (MET-LDPC) codes are suitable for CV-QKD systems because of their Shannon-limit-approaching performance at a low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). However, the process of designing a low-rate MET-LDPC code with good performance is extremely complicated. Thus, we introduce Raptor-like LDPC (RL-LDPC) codes into the CV-QKD system, exhibiting both the rate compatible property of the Raptor code and capacity-approaching performance of MET-LDPC codes. Moreover, this technique can significantly reduce the cost of constructing a new matrix. We design the RL-LDPC matrix with a code rate of 0.02 and easily and effectively adjust this rate from 0.016 to 0.034. Simulation results show that we can achieve more than 98% reconciliation efficiency in a range of code rate variation using only one RL-LDPC code that can support high-speed decoding with an SNR less than -16.45 dB. This code allows the system to maintain a high key extraction rate under various SNRs, paving the way for practical applications of CV-QKD systems with different transmission distances.
