New construction of binary and nonbinary quantum stabilizer codes based on symmetric matrices

In this paper, we propose two construction methods for binary and nonbinary quantum stabilizer codes based on symmetric matrices. In the first construction, we use the identity and symmetric matrices to generate parity-check matrices that satisfy the symplectic inner product (SIP) for the construction of quantum stabilizer codes. In the second construction, we modify the first construction to generate parity-check matrices based on the Calderbank–Shor–Stean structure for the construction of quantum stabilizer codes. The binary and nonbinary quantum stabilizer codes whose parameters achieve equality of the quantum singleton bound are investigated with the code lengths ranging from 4 to 12.

New Constructions of Quantum Stabilizer Codes Based on Difference Sets

In this paper, new conditions on parameters in difference sets are derived to satisfy symplectic inner product, and new constructions of quantum stabilizer codes are proposed from the conditions. The conversion of the difference sets into parity-check matrices is first explained. Then, the proposed code construction is composed of three steps, which are to choose the generators of quantum stabilizer code, to determine the quantum stabilizer groups, and to determine subspace codewords with large minimum distance. The quantum stabilizer codes with various length are also presented to explain the practicality of the code construction. The proposed design can be applied to quantum stabilizer code construction based on combinatorial design.
