We study analytically and numerically decoding properties of finite rate
hypergraph-product quantum LDPC codes obtained from random (3,4)-regular
Gallager codes, with a simple model of independent X and Z errors. Several
non-trival lower and upper bounds for the decodable region are constructed
analytically by analyzing the properties of the homological difference, equal
minus the logarithm of the maximum-likelihood decoding probability for a given
syndrome. Numerical results include an upper bound for the decodable region
from specific heat calculations in associated Ising models, and a minimum
weight decoding threshold of approximately 7%.
