Capacity-achieving codes are a class of error-correcting codes that can theoretically approach the maximum possible efficiency for data transmission over a noisy communication channel. The term "capacity" refers to the channel capacity, which is the maximum rate at which information can be transmitted over a communication channel with an arbitrarily low probability of error, as defined by Shannon's channel capacity theorem.
