• Abstract: In previous work, we have shown that pseudocodewords can be used to characterize the behavior of decoders not only for classical codes but also for quantum stabilizer codes. With the insights obtained from this pseudocodewords-based analysis, we have also introduced a two-stage decoder based on pseudocodewords for quantum cycle codes that leads to improved decoding performance. In this paper, we consider quantum (stabilizer) color codes and propose a two-stage decoder that is a generalization of the pseudocodeword-based decoder for quantum cycle codes. Our decoder has only local or error-weight-dependent operations of low computational complexity and better decoding performance compared with previous decoding approaches for these types of codes.

• Quaternary Neural Belief Propagation Decoding of Quantum LDPC Codes with Overcomplete Check Matrices [45.997444794696676]
  Quantum low-density parity-check (QLDPC) codes are promising candidates for error correction in quantum computers. One of the major challenges in implementing QLDPC codes in quantum computers is the lack of a universal decoder. We first propose to decode QLDPC codes with a belief propagation (BP) decoder operating on overcomplete check matrices. We extend the neural BP (NBP) decoder, which was originally studied for suboptimal binary BP decoding of QLPDC codes, to quaternary BP decoders.

The modified decoder works for any stabilizer code $S$ and separates into two parts: a one-time, offline which builds a compact, graphical representation of the normalizer of the code, $Sperp$, and a quick, parallel, online computation using the Viterbi algorithm.
