Explicit Instances of Quantum Tanner Codes (2508.05095v1)

Abstract: We construct several explicit instances of quantum Tanner codes, a class of asymptotically good quantum low-density parity check (qLDPC) codes. The codes are constructed using dihedral groups and random pairs of classical codes and exhibit high encoding rates, relative distances, and pseudo-thresholds. Using the BP+OSD decoder, we demonstrate good performance in the phenomenological and circuit-level noise settings, comparable to the surface code with similar distances. Finally, we conduct an analysis of the space-time overhead incurred by these codes.
