From Classical to Quantum Coding

From Classical to Quantum Coding, 1st Edition, is an academic textbook designed for doctoral students, academic researchers, and industrial researchers entering the field of quantum communications. The text establishes how environment-induced decoherence in quantum information processing requires theoretical principles adapted directly from classical error-control coding.

The material is organized into three sequential thematic parts. Part I establishes core quantum coding principles for readers who possess existing familiarity with classical coding mechanisms. Part II focuses on practical near-term quantum codes designed for systems that operate with modest to moderate numbers of qubits. Part III presents an analytical outlook on advanced quantum error correction codes built to function across numerous qubits.

A defining technical element is the application of extrinsic information transfer (EXIT) charts as a primary design tool for near-hashing-bound code designs. The textbook offers targeted theoretical support for doctoral scholars and industrial research groups assessing quantum coding bounds.
