contents This paper shows that, with high probability, randomly punctured Reed-Solomon codes over fields of polynomial size achieve the list decoding capacity. More specifically, we prove that for any $ε>0$ and $R\in (0,1)$, with high probability, randomly punctured Reed-Solomon codes of block length $n$ and rate $R$ are $\left(1-R-ε, O({1}/ε)\right)$ list decodable over alphabets of size at least $2^{\mathrm{poly}(1/ε)}n^2$. This extends the recent breakthrough of Brakensiek, Gopi, and Makam (STOC 2023) that randomly punctured Reed-Solomon codes over fields of exponential size attain the generalized Singleton bound of Shangguan and Tamo (STOC 2020).
