Balanced Product Codes, Demystified

Research output: Working paper › Preprint

Abstract

The discovery of the family of balanced product codes was pivotal in the subsequent development of `good' low density quantum error correcting codes that have optimal scaling of the key parameters of distance and storage density. We review this family, giving a completely different presentation to the original, minimising the abstraction and technicalities wherever possible.
