Quantum List Decoding from Quantumly Corrupted Codewords for Classical Block Codes of Polynomially Small Rate

Yamakami, T.

    Our task of quantum list decoding for a classical block code is to recover from a given quantumly corrupted codeword a short list containing all messages whose codewords have high 'presence' in this quantumly corrupted codeword. All known families of efficiently quantum list decodable codes, nonetheless, have exponentially-small message rate. We show that certain generalized Reed-Solomon codes concatenated with Hadamard codes of polynomially-small rate and constant codeword alphabet size have efficient quantum list decoding algorithms, provided that target codewords should have relatively high presence in a given quantumly corrupted codeword.
