Abstract

We propose encoder and decoder architectures for quantum low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes suitable for all-optical implementation, based on controlled-not (CNOT) and Hadamard gates only. Given the fact that the CNOT gate can be implemented using directional couplers, and Hadamard gate by using π-hybrid, the proposed encoders/decoders architectures are suitable for implementation in integrated optics. In addition, we propose several quantum LDPC codes based on balanced incomplete block designs.
