Abstract

Abstract The construction of quantum Maximum Distance Separable (MDS) error-correcting codes is of great significance in practical applications, as it plays a vital role in enhancing the reliability and efficiency of quantum communication and quantum computing. As a result, it remains an active research topic in the field of quantum information science. In this paper, based on generalized Reed-Solomon (GRS) codes and Hermitian construction, we construct two new classes of quantum MDS codes. Our constructed quantum MDS codes are novel in the sense that their parameters differ from all previously known codes. Furthermore, most of our codes exhibit significantly larger minimum distance compared to the existing ones of the same length.

Some New Constructions of Quantum MDS Codes

Weijun Fang, Fang‐Wei Fu

It is an important task to construct quantum maximum-distance-separable (MDS) codes with good parameters. In the present paper, we provide six new classes of$q$-ary quantum MDS codes by using generalized Reed–Solomon (GRS) codes and Hermitian construction. The minimum distances of our quantum MDS codes can be larger than$\frac {q}{2}+1$. Three of these six classes of quantum MDS codes have longer lengths than the ones constructed in[1]and[2], hence some of their results can be easily derived from ours via the propagation rule. Moreover, some known quantum MDS codes of specific lengths can be seen as special cases of ours and the minimum distances of some known quantum MDS codes are also improved as well.

Some new QEC MDS codes with large minimum distance

Lanqiang Li, Fuyin Tian, Ziwen Cao +1 more

The advancement of Quantum Error-Correcting (QEC) Maximum Distance Separable (MDS) codes holds substantial importance in practical applications, substantially augmenting the reliability and efficiency of quantum communication and computing. This paper introduces two new classes of QEC MDS codes, which are devised through the utilization of generalized Reed-Solomon (GRS) codes and the Hermitian construction approach. The novelty of our QEC MDS codes lies in their parameters being distinct from all previously reported codes. Moreover, most of our codes possess a considerably greater minimum distance in comparison to existing codes of the same length.

Some quantum MDS codes from GRS codes

Guohui Wang, Chunming Tang

The construction of quantum maximum-distance-separable (MDS) codes has become one of the major goals in quantum coding theory. In this paper, we construct several classes of Hermitian self-orthogonal generalized Reed–Solomon codes. Based on these classical MDS codes, we obtain several new classes of quantum MDS codes with large minimum distance. It turns out that these constructed quantum MDS codes have fewer constraints on the selection of code length, and in some cases, have larger minimum distance than previous literature. Notably, some of the distance parameters of our codes are greater than (q/2)+1.

In this paper, by using Hermitian self-orthogonal generalized Reed-Solomon (GRS for short) codes, we construct five new classes of $q$-ary quantum MDS codes with minimum distance larger than $q/2+1$. Furthermore, the parameters of our quantum MDS code cannot be obtained from the previous constructions.

Quantum maximum-distance-separable (MDS) codes are very important in coding theory. In this paper, we construct three classes of new quantum MDS codes with large minimum distance by classical Hermitian self-orthogonal generalized Reed-Solomon codes. Furthermore, these quantum MDS codes have more flexible lengths and larger minimum distance than those of some known quantum MDS codes.

Quantum MDS Codes with length $n\equiv 0,1($mod$\,\frac{q\pm1}{2})$

Ruhao Wan

An important family of quantum codes is the quantum maximum-distance-separable (MDS) codes. In this paper, we construct some new classes of quantum MDS codes by generalized Reed-Solomon (GRS) codes and Hermitian construction. In addition, the length $n$ of most of the quantum MDS codes we constructed satisfies $n\equiv 0,1($mod$\,\frac{q\pm1}{2})$, which is different from previously known code lengths. At the same time, the quantum MDS codes we construct have large minimum distances that are greater than $q/2+1$.
