Sipser and Spielman constructed LDPC codes from either bipartite \emph{spectral} expanders or one-sided \emph{lossless} expanders.
In higher dimensions, \emph{spectral} expansion similarly played a central role in the constructions of asymptotically good classical LTCs and qLDPC codes by Dinur, Evra, Livne, Lubotzky, and Mozes and by Panteleev and Kalachev.

A circuit $\mathcal{C}$ samples a distribution $\mathbf{X}$ with an error $\epsilon$ if the statistical distance between the output of $\mathcal{C}$ on the uniform input and $\mathbf{X}$ is $\epsilon$. We study the hardness of sampling a uniform distribution over the set of $n$-bit strings of Hamming weight $k$ denoted by $\mathbf{U}^n_k$ ... more >>>
