We introduce a low-complexity message-passing quantum error correction algorithm for decoding Quantum Low-Density Parity-Check (QLDPC) stabilizer codes. The proposed decoder operates on the quaternary stabilizer graph but only exchanges binary messages. This leads to a significantly reduced complexity compared to other quaternary belief propagation (BP) algorithms that pass floating-point messages. The efficacy of the proposed decoder is evaluated by providing decoding examples, performance metrics using Monte-Carlo simulations, and complexity analysis. Despite its reduced complexity, the performance loss of the proposed decoder is modest compared to floating-point parallel quaternary decoders for a Calderbank-Shor-Steane (CSS) code family. In particular, experiments obtained over the [[1054, 140, 20]] lifted product (LP) Tanner code demonstrated that for low error rates (< 0.01), the proposed quaternary-binary message-passing decoder approaches the performance of quaternary BP by converging in almost the same number of iterations while requiring less complex operations. Additionally, for non-CSS codes, our decoder performs similarly as quaternary floating-point decoders despite its lower complexity.
