In this paper, we construct new families of asymmetric quantum surface codes (AQSCs) over non-orientable surfaces of genus g ≥ 2 by applying tools of hyperbolic geometry. More precisely, we prove that all asymmetric quantum surface codes constructed over orientable surfaces with genus h can be reproduced, with exactly the same parameters, over a non-orientable surface with genus g = 2h. Additionally, if S is a non-orientable surface of genus g, we show that the new surface code constructed on a {p, q} tessellation of S has ratio k/n greater than the ratio of an AQSC constructed on the same {p, q} tessellation over an orientable surface of the same genus g.
