Ta-Shma zigzag code[1]

Description

Member of a family of \(\epsilon\)-balanced codes that nearly achieves the asymptotic GV bound. The codes have relative distance \(\frac{1}{2}-\frac{\epsilon}{2}\) and rate of order \(\Omega (\epsilon^{2+\beta})\) for \(\beta\to 0\) as \(n\to\infty\) [2].

Decoding

Unique and list decoders [2].
