Minisymposium Talk Where Algebraic Coding Theory and Graph Theory Meet Where Algebraic Coding Theory and Graph Theory Meet

Speaker

Pedro Paredes (Princeton University)

Description

This talk explores the interplay between coding theory and expander graphs. We will discuss key developments in the design of expander-based codes, including recent advancements that lead to locally testable codes and efficient quantum codes. This includes a review of work dedicated to designing vertex expanders and unique-neighbor expanders, focusing on the specific properties that make them suitable for modern error correction.
