Abstract Calderbank, Rains, Shor, and Sloane (see [10]) showed that quantum stabilizer codes correspond to additive quaternary codes in binary projective spaces, which are self‐orthogonal with respect to the symplectic form. A geometric description is given in [8, 19]. In [8] the notion of a quantum cap is introduced. Quantum caps are equivalent to quantum stabilizer codes of minimum distance when the code is linear over . In this paper, we determine the valuesksuch that there exists a quantumk‐cap in , corresponding to pure linear quantum codes, proving, by exhaustive search, that no 11, 37, 39‐quantum caps exist. Moreover we give examples of quantum caps in not already known in the literature.
