Absolutely Maximally Entangled states, combinatorial designs and multi-unitary matrices
Absolutely Maximally Entangled (AME) states are those multipartite quantum
states that carry absolute maximum entanglement in all possible partitions. AME
states are known to play a relevant role in multipartite teleportation, in
quantum secret sharing and they provide the basis novel tensor networks related
to holography. We present alternative constructions of AME states and show
their link with combinatorial designs. We also analyze a key property of AME,
namely their relation to tensors that can be understood as unitary
transformations in every of its bi-partitions. We call this property
multi-unitarity.Comment: 18 pages, 2 figures. Comments are very welcom
Cyclic lowest density MDS array codes
Three new families of lowest density maximum-distance separable (MDS) array codes are constructed, which are cyclic or quasi-cyclic. In addition to their optimal redundancy (MDS) and optimal update complexity (lowest density), the symmetry offered by the new codes can be utilized for simplified implementation in storage applications. The proof of the code properties has an indirect structure: first MDS codes that are not cyclic are constructed, and then transformed to cyclic codes by a minimum-distance preserving transformation
Low-Density Arrays of Circulant Matrices: Rank and Row-Redundancy Analysis, and Quasi-Cyclic LDPC Codes
This paper is concerned with general analysis on the rank and row-redundancy
of an array of circulants whose null space defines a QC-LDPC code. Based on the
Fourier transform and the properties of conjugacy classes and Hadamard products
of matrices, we derive tight upper bounds on rank and row-redundancy for
general array of circulants, which make it possible to consider row-redundancy
in constructions of QC-LDPC codes to achieve better performance. We further
investigate the rank of two types of construction of QC-LDPC codes:
constructions based on Vandermonde Matrices and Latin Squares and give
combinatorial expression of the exact rank in some specific cases, which
demonstrates the tightness of the bound we derive. Moreover, several types of
new construction of QC-LDPC codes with large row-redundancy are presented and
analyzed.Comment: arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:1004.118
Cyclic Low-Density MDS Array Codes
We construct two infinite families of low density MDS array codes which are also cyclic. One of these families includes the first such sub-family with redundancy parameter r > 2. The two constructions have different algebraic formulations, though they both have the same indirect structure. First MDS codes that are not cyclic are constructed and then by applying a certain mapping to their parity check matrices, non-equivalent cyclic codes with the same distance and density properties are obtained. Using the same proof techniques, a third infinite family of quasi-cyclic codes can be constructed
