Abstract

Quantum error-correcting codes with good parameters can be constructed by evaluating polynomials at the roots of the polynomial trace [18]. In this paper, we propose to evaluate polynomials at the roots of trace-depending polynomials (given by a constant plus the trace of a polynomial) and show that this procedure gives rise to stabilizer quantum error-correcting codes with a wider range of lengths than in [18] and with excellent parameters. Namely, we are able to provide new binary records according to [21] and non-binary codes improving the ones available in the literature.

Classical and Quantum Evaluation Codes at the Trace Roots

Carlos Galindo, Fernando Hernando, Diego Ruano

We introduce a new class of evaluation linear codes by evaluating polynomials at the roots of a suitable trace function. We give conditions for self-orthogonality of these codes and their subfield-subcodes with respect to the Hermitian inner product. They allow us to construct stabilizer quantum codes over several finite fields which substantially improve the codes in the literature. For the binary case, we obtain records at http://codetables.de/. Moreover, we obtain several classical linear codes over the field F4which are records at http://codetables.de/.

Quantum Codes Derived From Certain Classes of Polynomials

Tao Zhang, Gennian Ge

One central theme in quantum error-correction is to construct quantum codes that have a relatively large minimum distance. In this paper, we first present a construction of classical linear codes based on certain classes of polynomials. Through these classical linear codes, we are able to obtain some new quantum codes. It turns out that some of the quantum codes exhibited here have better parameters than the ones available in the literature.

Quantum error correction via codes over GF(2)

Arijit Chowdhury, Balaji Sundar Rajan

It is well known that n-length stabilizer quantum error correcting codes (QECCs) can be obtained via n-length classical error correction codes (CECCs) over GF(4), that are additive and self-orthogonal with respect to the trace Hermitian inner product. But, most of the CECCs have been studied with respect to the Euclidean inner product. In this paper, it is shown that n-length stabilizer QECCs can be constructed via 3n-length linear CECCs over GF(2) that are self-orthogonal with respect to the Euclidean inner product. This facilitates usage of the widely studied self-orthogonal CECCs to construct stabilizer QECCs. Moreover, classical, binary, self-orthogonal cyclic codes have been used to obtain stabilizer QECCs with guaranteed quantum error correcting capability. This is facilitated by the fact that (i) self-orthogonal, binary cyclic codes are easily identified using transform approach and (ii) for such codes lower bounds on the minimum Hamming distance are known. Several explicit codes are constructed including two pure MDS QECCs.

A new construction of quantum error-correcting codes

Keqin Feng, Chaoping Xing

In this paper, we present a characterization of (binary and non-binary) quantum error-correcting codes. Based on this characterization, we introduce a method to construct p p -ary quantum codes using Boolean functions satisfying a system of certain quadratic relations. As a consequence of the construction, we are able to construct quantum codes of minimum distance 2 2 . In particular, we produce a class of binary quantum ( ( n , 2 n − 2 − 1 2 ( n − 1 ( n − 1 ) / 2 ) , 2 ) ) ((n,2^{n-2}-\frac 12{n-1\choose (n-1)/2},2)) -codes for odd length n ≥ 5 n\ge 5 . For n ≥ 11 n\ge 11 , this improves the result by Rains in Quantum codes of minimal distance two , 1999, showing the existence of binary quantum ( ( n , 3 ⋅ 2 n − 4 , 2 ) ) ((n,3\cdot 2^{n-4},2)) -codes for odd n ≥ 5 n\ge 5 .

New Non-Binary Stabilizer Quantum Codes Derived from Quasi-Negacyclic Codes

Jingjie Lv, Xi Zhang, Ruihu Li

Constructions of quantum error-correcting codes with good properties utilizing classical codes is an important task for quantum computing and quantum information. In this paper, we employ a class of one-generator quasi-negacyclic codes and provide a sufficient condition for symplectic self-orthogonality. As the computational results, some good non-binary stabilizer quantum codes are constructed and their parameters are determined.

Code constructions and code families for nonbinary quantum stabilizer code

Avanti Ulhas Ketkar

Stabilizer codes form a special class of quantum error correcting codes. Nonbinary quantum stabilizer codes are studied in this thesis. A lot of work on binary quantum stabilizer codes has been done. Nonbinary stabilizer codes have received much less attention. Various results on binary stabilizer codes such as various code families and general code constructions are generalized to the nonbinary case in this thesis. The lower bound on the minimum distance of a code is nothing but the minimum distance of the currently best known code. The focus of this research is to improve the lower bounds on this minimum distance. To achieve this goal, various existing quantum codes are studied that have good minimum distance. Some new families of nonbinary stabilizer codes such as quantum BCH codes are constructed. Different ways of constructing new codes from the existing ones are also found. All these constructions together help improve the lower bounds.
