We give a construction of Quantum Low-Density Parity Check (QLDPC) codes with near-optimal rate-distance tradeoff and efficient list decoding up to the Johnson bound in polynomial time. Previous constructions of list decodable good distance quantum codes either required access to a classical side channel or were based on algebraic constructions that preclude the LDPC property. Our construction relies on new algorithmic results for codes obtained via the quantum analog of the distance amplification scheme of Alon, Edmonds, and Luby [FOCS 1995]. These results are based on convex relaxations obtained using the Sum-of-Squares hierarchy, which reduce the problem of list decoding the distance amplified codes to unique decoding the starting base codes. Choosing these base codes to be the recent breakthrough constructions of good QLDPC codes with efficient unique decoders, we get efficiently list decodable QLDPC codes.

We introduce a construction for entanglement-assisted quantum error-correcting codes (EAQECCs) that saturates the classical Singleton bound with less shared entanglement than any known method for code rates below $ \frac{k}{n} = \frac{1}{3} $. For higher rates, our EAQECC also meets the Singleton bound, although with increased entanglement requirements. Additionally, we demonstrate that any classical $[n,k,d]_q$ code can be transformed into an EAQECC with parameters $[[n,k,d;2k]]_q$ using $2k$ pre-shared maximally entangled pairs. The complexity of our encoding protocol for $k$-qudits with $q$ levels is $\mathcal{O}(k \log_{\frac{q}{q-1}}(k))$, excluding the complexity of encoding and decoding the classical MDS code. While this complexity remains linear in $k$ for systems of reasonable size, it increases significantly for larger-levelled systems, highlighting the need for further research into complexity reduction.
