New Quantum Codes from Evaluation and Matrix-Product Codes

Stabilizer codes obtained via CSS code construction and Steane's enlargement of subfield-subcodes and matrix-product codes coming from generalized Reed-Muller, hyperbolic and affine variety codes are studied. Stabilizer codes with good quantum parameters are supplied, in particular, some binary codes of lengths 127 and 128 improve the parameters of the codes in http://www.codetables.de. Moreover, non-binary codes are presented either with parameters better than or equal to the quantum codes obtained from BCH codes by La Guardia or with lengths that can not be reached by them

Classical and quantum evaluation codes at the trace roots

Producción CientíficaWe introduce a new class of evaluation linear codes by evaluating polynomials at the roots of a suitable trace function. We give conditions for self-orthogonality of these codes and their subfield-subcodes with respect to the Hermitian inner product. They allow us to construct stabilizer quantum codes over several finite fields which substantially improve the codes in the literature. For the binary case, we obtain records at http://codetables.de/. Moreover, we obtain several classical linear codes over the field with 4 elements which are records at http://codetables.de/.This work was supported in part by the Spanish MINECO/FEDER (Grants No. MTM2015-65764-C3-2-P and MTM2015-69138-REDT), in part by the University Jaume I (Grant No. P1-1B2015-02), in part by The Danish Council for Independent Research (Grant No. DFF--4002-00367), and in part by RYC-2016-20208 (AEI/FSE/UE)
