On the generalization of the construction of quantum codes from Hermitian self-orthogonal codes
Carlos Galindo, Fernando Hernando · Designs Codes and Cryptography · 2022
Abstract Many q-ary stabilizer quantum codes can be constructed from Hermitian self-orthogonal $$q^2$$ q 2 -ary linear codes. This result can be generalized to $$q^{2 m}$$ q 2 m -ary linear codes, $$m > 1$$ m > 1 . We give a result for easily obtaining quantum codes from that generalization. As a consequence we provide several new binary stabilizer quantum codes which are records according to Grassl (Bounds on the minimum distance of linear codes, http://www.codetables.de , 2020) and new q-ary ones, with $$q e 2$$ q ≠ 2 , improving others in the literature.
