While polar codes are provably capacity-achieving in the infinite blocklength limit, practical systems often operate with relatively short blocklengths, where polar codes perform poorly. Modifications\u2014particularly precoded polar codes\u2014can improve their performance in this regime, bringing them closer to the short-blocklength capacity. This research is primarily motivated by the design of effective precoding strategies and the selection of optimal information sets to further narrow this gap.\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Short Precoded Polar Codes for Classical and Quantum Systems"}],"uid":"28475","created_gmt":"2025-04-25 08:59:21","changed_gmt":"2025-04-25 09:00:35","author":"Daniela Staiculescu","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2025-04-28T08:08:08-04:00","event_time_end":"2025-04-28T10:00:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2025-04-28T10:00:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2025-04-28 12:08:08","gmt_time_end":"2025-04-28 14:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2025-04-28 14:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"location":"Room 423, TSRB","extras":[],"groups":[{"id":"434371","name":"ECE Ph.D. Proposal Oral Exams"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"102851","name":"Phd proposal"},{"id":"1808","name":"graduate students"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1788","name":"Other\/Miscellaneous"}],"invited_audience":[{"id":"78771","name":"Public"}],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
