New quantum codes from self-dual codes over F_4
We present new constructions of binary quantum codes from quaternary linear
Hermitian self-dual codes. Our main ingredients for these constructions are
nearly self-orthogonal cyclic or duadic codes over F_4. An infinite family of
-dimensional binary quantum codes is provided. We give minimum distance
lower bounds for our quantum codes in terms of the minimum distance of their
ingredient linear codes. We also present new results on the minimum distance of
linear cyclic codes using their fixed subcodes. Finally, we list many new
record-breaking quantum codes obtained from our constructions.Comment: 16 page
Results on Binary Linear Codes With Minimum Distance 8 and 10
All codes with minimum distance 8 and codimension up to 14 and all codes with
minimum distance 10 and codimension up to 18 are classified. Nonexistence of
codes with parameters [33,18,8] and [33,14,10] is proved. This leads to 8 new
exact bounds for binary linear codes. Primarily two algorithms considering the
dual codes are used, namely extension of dual codes with a proper coordinate,
and a fast algorithm for finding a maximum clique in a graph, which is modified
to find a maximum set of vectors with the right dependency structure.Comment: Submitted to the IEEE Transactions on Information Theory, May 2010 To

List Decoding Tensor Products and Interleaved Codes
We design the first efficient algorithms and prove new combinatorial bounds
for list decoding tensor products of codes and interleaved codes. We show that
for {\em every} code, the ratio of its list decoding radius to its minimum
distance stays unchanged under the tensor product operation (rather than
squaring, as one might expect). This gives the first efficient list decoders
and new combinatorial bounds for some natural codes including multivariate
polynomials where the degree in each variable is bounded. We show that for {\em
every} code, its list decoding radius remains unchanged under -wise
interleaving for an integer . This generalizes a recent result of Dinur et
al \cite{DGKS}, who proved such a result for interleaved Hadamard codes
(equivalently, linear transformations). Using the notion of generalized Hamming
weights, we give better list size bounds for {\em both} tensoring and
interleaving of binary linear codes. By analyzing the weight distribution of
these codes, we reduce the task of bounding the list size to bounding the
number of close-by low-rank codewords. For decoding linear transformations,
using rank-reduction together with other ideas, we obtain list size bounds that
are tight over small fields.Comment: 32 page
