Abstract
Quantum error correction plays a crucial role in quantum information theory.Schlingemann and Werner presented a new way to construct quantum stabilizer codes by finding certain graphs(or matrices) with specific properties, and they constructed several new non-binary quantum codes, in particular, they gave a new proof on the existence of quantum codes [[5, 1, 3]] for all odd primes. In this paper, using the same method, we prove the existence of MDS quantum codes with the sum n and k being 8 for all primes exceeding three.
