Abstract

Quantum low-density parity check (QLDPC) codes are promising in realization of scalable, fault tolerant quantum memory for computation. Many of the QLDPC codes constructions suffer from unavoidable short cycles in their Tanner graph which degrade the decoding performance of the belief propagation (BP) algorithm. In this paper, we propose a syndrome based generalized belief propagation (GBP) algorithm for decoding of quantum LDPC codes and analyze how the proposed algorithm escapes from short cycle trapping sets effectively compared to the BP algorithm. Simulation results show improved decoding performance of the GBP algorithm over BP for the dual containing Calderbank, Shor and Steane (CSS) codes when cycles of length 4 are considered in the region based approach.
