Quantum Block Turbo Codes
Abstract
In the early nineties, the introduction of turbo codes revolutionized classical error correction. The idea was mainly applied on two types of codes: convolutional turbo codes and turbo product codes. The first type of codes was adapted to quantum error correction which initiated the theory of quantum serial turbo codes. In this paper, we present a theory for quantum block turbo codes, the quantum analog of the second type of turbo codes. We describe their iterative decoding algorithm and simulate their performances on a depolarizing channel for different constituent codes.
