Abstract
A quantum Bose–Chadhuri–Hocquenghem (BCH) code is constructed over Fnpm in the spectrum domain by employing Fourier transform. The constructed code may be employed to describe the characters of the quantum code over Fnp in the time domain. Each quantum state of the proposed code has certain specified consecutive spectral components equalling zeros, and the error-correcting ability of the code can hence be determined by the number of consecutive zeros in its parity spectrums. Moreover, the decoding process may be performed more efficiently by using the spectrum techniques rather than by using the traditional methods.
