Efficient Multi-Point Local Decoding of Reed-Muller Codes via Interleaved Codex

Reed-Muller codes are among the most important classes of locally correctable codes. Currently local decoding of Reed-Muller codes is based on decoding on lines or quadratic curves to recover one single coordinate. To recover multiple coordinates simultaneously, the naive way is to repeat the local decoding for recovery of a single coordinate. This decoding algorithm might be more expensive, i.e., require higher query complexity. In this paper, we focus on Reed-Muller codes with usual parameter regime, namely, the total degree of evaluation polynomials is $d=\Theta({q})$, where $q$ is the code alphabet size (in fact, $d$ can be as big as $q/4$ in our setting). By introducing a novel variation of codex, i.e., interleaved codex (the concept of codex has been used for arithmetic secret sharing \cite{C11,CCX12}), we are able to locally recover arbitrarily large number $k$ of coordinates of a Reed-Muller code simultaneously at the cost of querying $O(q^2k)$ coordinates. It turns out that our local decoding of Reed-Muller codes shows ({\it perhaps surprisingly}) that accessing $k$ locations is in fact cheaper than repeating the procedure for accessing a single location for $k$ times. Our estimation of success error probability is based on error probability bound for $t$-wise linearly independent variables given in \cite{BR94}

Codes and Protocols for Distilling TT, controlled-SS, and Toffoli Gates

We present several different codes and protocols to distill $T$, controlled-$S$, and Toffoli (or $CCZ$) gates. One construction is based on codes that generalize the triorthogonal codes, allowing any of these gates to be induced at the logical level by transversal $T$. We present a randomized construction of generalized triorthogonal codes obtaining an asymptotic distillation efficiency $\gamma\rightarrow 1$. We also present a Reed-Muller based construction of these codes which obtains a worse $\gamma$ but performs well at small sizes. Additionally, we present protocols based on checking the stabilizers of $CCZ$ magic states at the logical level by transversal gates applied to codes; these protocols generalize the protocols of 1703.07847. Several examples, including a Reed-Muller code for $T$-to-Toffoli distillation, punctured Reed-Muller codes for $T$-gate distillation, and some of the check based protocols, require a lower ratio of input gates to output gates than other known protocols at the given order of error correction for the given code size. In particular, we find a $512$ T-gate to $10$ Toffoli gate code with distance $8$ as well as triorthogonal codes with parameters $[[887,137,5]],[[912,112,6]],[[937,87,7]]$ with very low prefactors in front of the leading order error terms in those codes.Comment: 28 pages.

Reed-Muller Codec Simulation Performance

The approach to error correction coding taken by modern digital communication systems started in the late 1940’s with the ground breaking work of Shannon, Hamming and Golay. Reed- Muller (RM) codes were an important step beyond the Hamming and Golay codes because they allowed more flexibility in the size of the code word and the number of correctable errors per code word. Whereas the Hamming and Golay codes were specific codes with particular values for q; n; k; and t, the RM codes were a class of binary codes with a wide range of allowable design parameters. Binary Reed-Muller codes are among the most prominent families of codes in coding theory. They have been extensively studied and employed for practical applications. In this research, the performance simulation of Reed-Muller Codec was presented. An introduction on Reed-Muller codes, were introduced that consists of defining the key terms and operation used with the binary numbers. Reed-Muller codes were defined and encoding matrices were discussed. The decoding process was given and some examples were demonstrated to clarify the method. The results and the performance of Reed-Muller encoding were presented and the messages been encoded using the defined matrices were shown. The simulation of the decoding part also been shown. The performance of Reed-Muller codes were then analyzed in terms of its code rate, code length and minimum Hamming distance. The analysis that performed also successfully examines the relationship between the parameters of Reed- Muller coding. The decoding part of the Reed-Muller codes can detect one error and correct it as shown in the examples

Enhanced Recursive Reed-Muller Erasure Decoding

Recent work have shown that Reed-Muller (RM) codes achieve the erasure channel capacity. However, this performance is obtained with maximum-likelihood decoding which can be costly for practical applications. In this paper, we propose an encoding/decoding scheme for Reed-Muller codes on the packet erasure channel based on Plotkin construction. We present several improvements over the generic decoding. They allow, for a light cost, to compete with maximum-likelihood decoding performance, especially on high-rate codes, while significantly outperforming it in terms of speed
