In order to determine the girth of Tanner(5,7) quasi-cyclic( QC) LDPC codes with length 7p for p being a prime with the form 35 m + 1,the cycles of lengths 4,6,8,and 10 are analyzed. Then these cycles are classified into sixteen categories,each of which can be expressed as an ordered block sequence,or a certain type. It is also shown that the existence of these cycles is equal to polynomial equations over Fpwho has a 35th unit root. We check if these polynomial equations have a 35th unit root and obtain the girth values of Tanner(5,7) QC LDPC codes.展开更多

Random projection code’s mapping matrix has significant influences on decoding performance as well as hardware implementation complexity. To reduce hardware implementation complexity, we design a quasi-cyclic mapping matrix for RPC codes. Compared with other construction approaches, our design gets rid of data filter component, thus reducing chip area 7284.95 um2, and power consumption 331.46 uW in 0.13 um fabrication. Our simulation results show that our method does not cause any performance loss and even gets 0.2 dB to 0.5 dB gain at BER 10-4.展开更多

In recent years, C. Cotardo has introduced coding theory into neuroscience, proposing the concept of combinatorial neural codes. And it was further studied in depth using algebraic methods by C.

In this paper, we construct a class of combinatorial neural codes with special properties based on classical combinatorial structures such as orthogonal Latin rectangle, disjoint Steiner systems, groupable designs and transversal designs. These neural codes have significant weight distribution properties and large minimum distances, and are thus valuable for potential applications in information representation and neuroscience. This study provides new ideas for the construction method and property analysis of combinatorial neural codes, and enriches the study of algebraic coding theory.展开更多

文摘Quantum error-correcting codes are essential for fault-tolerant quantum computing,as they effectively detect and correct noise-induced errors by distributing information across multiple physical qubits.The subsystem surface code with three-qubit check operators demonstrates significant application potential due to its simplified measurement operations and low logical error rates.However,the existing minimum-weight perfect matching(MWPM)algorithm exhibits high computational complexity and lacks flexibility in large-scale systems.Therefore,this paper proposes a decoder based on a graph attention network(GAT),representing error syndromes as undirected graphs with edge weights,and employing a multihead attention mechanism to efficiently aggregate node features and enable parallel computation.Compared to MWPM,the GAT decoder exhibits linear growth in computational complexity,adapts to different quantum code structures,and demonstrates stronger robustness under high physical error rates.The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed decoder achieves an overall accuracy of 89.95%under various small code lattice sizes(L=2,3,4,5),with the logical error rate threshold increasing to 0.0078,representing an improvement of approximately 13.04%compared to the MWPM decoder.This result significantly outperforms traditional methods,showcasing superior performance under small code lattice sizes and providing a more efficient decoding solution for large-scale quantum error correction.
文摘The traditional Feng Shui pattern embodies rich ecological wisdom and philosophical thoughts,which are of great significance to the modern sustainable space design.The core concepts of Feng Shui patterns from traditional civilization can provide a theoretical foundation and research framework for this study.By integrating these principles,such as“hiding the wind and gathering the Qi”and“backing the mountain and facing the water”,a functional relationship between urban structures can be established.This approach can help optimize the spatial layout of urban elements,minimize energy consumption,and enhance environmental comfort.It also examines the influence of the ShanShui City pattern in traditional Feng Shui on guiding the development of modern urban ecological networks,as well as its role in protecting and restoring biodiversity through ecological corridors and ecological nodes.The modern urban design of traditional Feng Shui culture focuses on the inheritance and innovation of riotous things and the combination of traditional Feng Shui concepts and modern design concepts to form ecological spaces with cultural connotation.This paper hopes to give some inspiration or methods for contemporary urban design and to reconcile the relationship between human and nature through these thoughts.
