Quantum Synchronizable Codes From Quadratic Residue Codes and Their Supercodes
Quantum synchronizable codes are quantum error-correcting codes designed to
correct the effects of both quantum noise and block synchronization errors.
While it is known that quantum synchronizable codes can be constructed from
cyclic codes that satisfy special properties, only a few classes of cyclic
codes have been proved to give promising quantum synchronizable codes. In this
paper, using quadratic residue codes and their supercodes, we give a simple
construction for quantum synchronizable codes whose synchronization
capabilities attain the upper bound. The method is applicable to cyclic codes
of prime length
