Quantum quasi-cyclic low-density parity-check error-correcting codes

In this paper, we propose the approach of employing circulant permutation matrices to construct quantum quasi-cyclic (QC) low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes. Using the proposed approach one may construct some new quantum codes with various lengths and rates of no cycles-length 4 in their Tanner graphs. In addition, these constructed codes have the advantages of simple implementation and low-complexity encoding. Finally, the decoding approach for the proposed quantum QC LDPC is investigated.
