Asymmetric Quantum Codes: Characterization and Constructions
Long Wang, Keqin Feng, San Ling, Chaoping Xing · IEEE Transactions on Information Theory · 2010
The stabilizer method for constructing a class of asymmetric quantum codes (AQC), called additive AQC, has been established by Aly et.al. In this paper, we present a new characterization of AQC, which generalizes a result of the symmetric case known previously. As an application of the characterization, we establish a relationship of AQC with classical error-correcting codes and show a few examples of good AQC with specific parameters. By using this relationship, we obtain an asymptotic bound on AQCs from algebraic geometry codes.
