Abstract
In this paper, we establish the necessary and sufficient conditions for quasi-cyclic (QC) codes with index even to be symplectic self-orthogonal. Subsequently, we present the lower and upper bounds on the minimum symplectic distances of a class of 1-generator QC codes and their symplectic dual codes by decomposing code spaces. As an application, we construct many new binary symplectic self-orthogonal QC codes with excellent parameters, leading to 117 record-breaking quantum error-correction codes.
