Abstract
Hermitian dual-containing codes are an important class of linear codes which have important applications in the construction of quantum codes. In this paper, two classes of Hermitian dual-containing almost MDS codes over finite fields are studied. By employing the Hermitian construction, a class of quantum codes with minimum distance [Formula: see text] and a class of quantum codes with minimum distance [Formula: see text] are constructed.
