Quantum coding schemes over qudits using pre-shared entanglement between the encoder and decoder can provide better error correction capability than without it. In this paper, we develop procedures for constructing encoding operators for entanglement-unassisted and entanglement-assisted qudit stabilizer codes over F p k , with p prime and k ≥ 1 from first principles, generalizing prior works on qubit based codes and codes that work over F p . We also provide quantum encoding architectures based on the proposed encoding procedures using one and two qudit gates, useful towards realizing coded quantum computing and communication systems using qudits.INDEX TERMS Quantum error correction, Entanglement-assisted codes, Encoding architecture, Qudit stabilizer codes, Non-binary codes. 1 The encoding circuit complexity linearly increases with codelength. To realize the practical implementation of large length codes, we need to construct all the stabilizers or their extensions from a carefully chosen group of quantum operators, making it a computationally challenging problem.2 Preliminary version on the encoding procedure for entanglementunassisted stabilizer codes over qudits was presented at IEEE Globecom 2018, Abu Dhabi [14].
