| 18 | +description: | |
| 19 | + Entanglement-assisted c-q code obtained from a mixed-alphabet Reed-Solomon construction over \(\mathbb{F}_q\) and \(\mathbb{F}_{q^2}\). |
| 20 | + A codeword of an \([n,k,d;c]_q\) code consists of \(n-c\) symbols transmitted directly over \(q\)-dimensional quantum systems and \(c\) symbols transmitted through super-dense coding using \(c\) pre-shared maximally entangled qudit pairs. |
| 21 | +
|
| 22 | + More explicitly, the code evaluates all polynomials \(f\in\mathbb{F}_q[x]\) of degree at most \(k-1\) at \(n-c\) distinct points \(\alpha_i\in\mathbb{F}_q\) and \(c\) representatives \(\gamma_j\in\mathbb{F}_{q^2}\setminus\mathbb{F}_q\), choosing at most one element from each conjugate pair \(\{\gamma,\gamma^q\}\). |
| 23 | + This yields codewords in \(\mathbb{F}_q^{n-c}\times\mathbb{F}_{q^2}^{c}\), where each \(\mathbb{F}_{q^2}\) symbol is identified with two \(q\)-ary symbols for dense coding. |
| 24 | +
|
| 25 | +protection: | |
| 26 | + Let \(n_1=n-c\) and \(n_2=c\). |
| 27 | + If \(n_1\geq k-1\), then the minimum distance is \(d=n-k+1\), saturating the classical Singleton bound. |
| 28 | + If \(n_1<k-1\), then |
| 29 | + \begin{align} |
| 30 | + d=\left\lceil\frac{n-k+1+n_2}{2}\right\rceil~, |
| 31 | + \end{align} |
| 32 | + which can exceed the classical Singleton bound because a known erasure of an \(\mathbb{F}_{q^2}\) position removes a two-symbol block \cite{arxiv:2310.19774}. |
| 33 | +
|
| 34 | +features: |
| 35 | + rate: | |
| 36 | + The construction can have \(k>n\) when \(c>0\), since each dense-coded position carries two \(q\)-ary symbols. |
| 37 | + Its length is bounded by \(n\leq q+(q^2-q)/2=(q^2+q)/2\), with a possible one-symbol extension using the point at infinity \cite{arxiv:2310.19774}. |
| 38 | + In the range \(n\leq q+(q^2-q)/2\) and \(n-q\leq c\), the distance formula above meets the block-erasure bound of Ref. \cite{arxiv:2310.19774}. |
