ON QUANTUM CODES CONSTRUCTION FROM CONSTACYCLIC CODES OVER THE RING I_q[u,v] / <u^2-a^2, v^2-a^2, uv-vu>

Abstract

This paper focuses on studying the properties of constacyclic codes, quantum error-correcting codes. The code is studied over a specific mathematical structure called the ring $\mathfrak{S}$, which is defined as $\mathfrak{S}=\mathfrak{I}_q[\mathfrak{u},\mathfrak{v}]/\langle \mathfrak{u}^2-\alpha^2,~ \mathfrak{v}^2-\alpha^2,~\mathfrak{u}\mathfrak{v}-\mathfrak{v}\mathfrak{u} \rangle$, where $\mathfrak{I}_q$ is a finite field of $q$ elements, $\alpha$ be the nonzero elements of the field $\mathfrak{I}_q$ and $q$ is a power of an odd prime $p$ such that $q=p^m, ~\textup{for}~ m \ge 1$. The paper also introduces a Gray map and use it to decompose constacyclic codes over the ring $\mathfrak{S}$ into a direct sum of constacyclic codes over $\mathfrak{I}_q$. We construct new and better quantum error-correcting codes over the ring $\mathfrak{S}$ (cf.; Table 1 and Table 2). Moreover, we also obtain best known linear codes as well as best dimension linear codes (cf.; Table 4).
