Entanglement-assisted quantum error correcting codes (EAQECCs) are a simple and fundamental class of codes. They allow for the construction of quantum codes from classical codes by relaxing the duality condition and using pre-shared entanglement between the sender and receiver. However, in general it is not easy to determine the number of shared pairs required to construct an EAQECC. In this paper, we show that this number is related to the hull of the classical code. Using this fact, we give methods to construct EAQECCs requiring desirable amount of entanglement. This leads to design families of EAQECCs with good error performance. Moreover, we construct maximal entanglement EAQECCs from LCD codes. Finally, we prove the existence of asymptotically good EAQECCs in the odd characteristic case. * K. Guenda is with the Faculty
In this paper we construct MDS Euclidean and Hermitian self-dual codes which are extended cyclic duadic codes or negacyclic codes. We also construct Euclidean self-dual codes which are extended negacyclic codes. Based on these constructions, a large number of new MDS self-dual codes are given with parameters for which self-dual codes were not previously known to exist.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
