Abstract

We construct codes from rational function fields and provide sufficient conditions for a rational algebraic geometry code to be Hermitian self-orthogonal. A method to embed such codes yields new families of Hermitian self-orthogonal MDS codes with large dimensions. Using the stabilizer formalism, we construct four new families of quantum MDS codes with parameters $[N, N-2 K, K+1]_{q}$. We give conditions on the length N and the values of K of the dimension N-2K. Parameter comparisons over small fields highlight the novelty of the quantum codes that we obtain.

New families of quantum stabilizer codes from Hermitian self-orthogonal algebraic geometry codes

Lin Sok

There has been a lot of effort to construct good quantum codes from the classical error correcting codes. Constructing new quantum codes, using Hermitian self-orthogonal codes, seems to be a difficult problem in general. In this paper, Hermitian self-orthogonal codes are studied from algebraic function fields. Sufficient conditions for the Hermitian self-orthogonality of an algebraic geometry code are presented. New Hermitian self-orthogonal codes are constructed from projective lines, elliptic curves, hyper-elliptic curves, Hermitian curves, and Artin-Schreier curves. In addition, over the projective lines, we construct new families of MDS quantum codes with parameters $[[N,N-2K,K+1]]_q$ under the following conditions: i) $N=t(q-1)+1$ or $t(q-1)+2$ with $t|(q+1)$ and $K=\lfloor\frac{t(q-1)+1}{2t}\rfloor+1$; ii) $(n-1)|(q^2-1)$, $N=n$ or $N=n+1$, $K_0=\lfloor\frac{n+q-1}{q+1}\rfloor$, and $K\ge K_0+1$; iii) $N=tq+1$, $\forall~1\le t\le q$ and $K=\lfloor\frac{tq+q-1}{q+1}\rfloor+1$; iv) $n|(q^2-1)$, $n_2=\frac{n}{\gcd (n,q+1)}$, $\forall~ 1\le t\le \frac{q-1}{n_2}-1$, $N=(t+1)n+2$ and $K=\lfloor \frac{(t+1)n+1+q-1}{q+1}\rfloor+1$.

New quantum MDS codes with flexible parameters from Hermitian self-orthogonal GRS codes

Oisin Campion, Fernando Hernando, Gary McGuire

Abstract Let q be a prime power. Let $$\lambda >1$$ λ > 1 be a divisor of $$q-1$$ q - 1 and $$\tau >1$$ τ > 1 be a divisor of $$q+1$$ q + 1 . Under certain conditions we prove that there exists an MDS stabilizer quantum code with length $$n=\lambda \tau \sigma $$ n = λ τ σ for a range of values of $$\sigma $$ σ . This is a flexible construction, which includes previously known families and also new MDS parameters not known before.

Two new classes of Hermitian self-orthogonal non-GRS MDS codes and their applications

Gaojun Luo, Xiwang Cao, Martianus Frederic Ezerman +1 more

Hermitian self-orthogonal codes form an essential ingredient in the construction of quantum stabilizer codes. In this paper, we present two new classes of Hermitian self-orthogonal MDS codes from twisted generalized Reed-Solomon codes. The constructed codes are monomially inequivalent to generalized Reed-Solomon codes. Two new classes of Hermitian LCD MDS codes can then be derived. Finally, based on the constructed Hermitian self-orthogonal MDS codes, we present two classes of quantum MDS codes with new parameters.

Explicit constructions of optimal linear codes with Hermitian hulls and their application to quantum codes

Lin Sok

We prove that any Hermitian self-orthogonal $[n,k,d]_{q^2}$ code gives rise to an $[n,k,d]_{q^2}$ code with $\ell$ dimensional Hermitian hull for $0\le \ell \le k$. We present a new method to construct Hermitian self-orthogonal $[n,k]_{q^2}$ codes with large dimensions $k>\frac{n+q-1}{q+1}$. New families of Hermitian self-orthogonal codes with good parameters are obtained; more precisely those containing almost MDS codes. By applying a puncturing technique to Hermitian self-orthogonal codes, MDS $[n,k]_{q^2}$ linear codes with Hermitian hull having large dimensions $k>\frac{n+q-1}{q+1}$ are also derived. New families of MDS, almost MDS and optimal codes with arbitrary Hermitian hull dimensions are explicitly constructed from algebraic curves. As an application, we provide entanglement-assisted quantum error correcting codes with new parameters.

New Families of Asymmetric Quantum MDS Codes via Affine and Projective Partitions

Sami Alabiad, Shayea Aldossari

We construct three new families of asymmetric quantum MDS codes from nested Hermitian self-orthogonal generalized Reed–Solomon and extended generalized Reed–Solomon codes over Fq2. The construction is developed in three settings: affine partitions of Fq2, projective norm partitions of Fq2*, and extended affine configurations obtained by adjoining the point at infinity. In each case, the Hermitian orthogonality conditions are reduced to explicit linear systems over Fq, whose solvability follows from structured moment identities and Vandermonde-type arguments. This yields nested classical MDS codes satisfying the Hermitian dual-containment condition required in the Hermitian construction of asymmetric quantum codes. As a consequence, we obtain three explicit families of asymmetric quantum MDS codes with fully determined lengths, dimensions, and asymmetric distances dz and dx. Our results show that affine and projective partition techniques provide a natural and effective framework for constructing optimal asymmetric quantum codes with flexible parameters.

Euclidean and Hermitian Self-Orthogonal Algebraic Geometry Codes and Their Application to Quantum Codes

Lingfei Jin, Chaoping Xing

In the present paper, we show that if the dimension of an arbitrary algebraic geometry code over a finite field of even characteristic is slightly less than n/2-g with n being the length of the code and g being the genus of the base curve, then it is equivalent to an Euclidean self-orthogonal code. Previously, such results required a strong condition on the existence of a certain differential. We also show a similar result on Hermitian self-orthogonal algebraic geometry codes. As a consequence, we can apply our result to quantum codes and obtain some good quantum codes. In particular, we obtain a q-ary quantum [[q+1,1]]-MDS code for an even power q which is essential for quantum secret sharing.
