The Bose–Chaudhuri–Hocquenghem (BCH) codes have been studied for more than 57 years and have found wide application in classical communication system and quantum information theory. In this paper, we study the construction of quantum codes from a family of [Formula: see text]-ary BCH codes with length [Formula: see text] (also called antiprimitive BCH codes in the literature), where [Formula: see text] is a power of 2 and [Formula: see text]. By a detailed analysis of some useful properties about [Formula: see text]-ary cyclotomic cosets modulo [Formula: see text], Hermitian dual-containing conditions for a family of non-narrow-sense antiprimitive BCH codes are presented, which are similar to those of [Formula: see text]-ary primitive BCH codes. Consequently, via Hermitian Construction, a family of new quantum codes can be derived from these dual-containing BCH codes. Some of these new antiprimitive quantum BCH codes are comparable with those derived from primitive BCH codes.
