Nonbinary quantum stabilizer codes
Alexei Ashikhmin, Emanuel H. Knill · IEEE Transactions on Information Theory · 2001
We define and show how to construct nonbinary quantum stabilizer codes. Our approach is based on nonbinary error bases. It generalizes the relationship between self-orthogonal codes over F/sub 4/ and binary quantum codes to one between self-orthogonal codes over F(q/sup 2/) and q-ary quantum codes for any prime power q.
