Additive codes received much attention due to their connections with quantum codes. On the other hand, skew cyclic codes proved to be a useful class of codes that contain many good codes. In this work, we introduce and study additive skew cyclic codes over the quaternary field [Formula: see text], obtaining some structural properties of these codes. Moreover, we also show that many best known and optimal quantum codes can be obtained from this class.
