Abstract

The current best asymptotic lower bound on the minimum distance of quantum LDPC codes with fixed non-zero rate is logarithmic in the blocklength. We build quantum LDPC codes with fixed non-zero rate and prove that their minimum distance grows proportionally to the square root of the blocklength.
