Generalized Concatenation for Quantum Codes

Quantum Physics 2010-06-01 v1

Abstract

We show how good quantum error-correcting codes can be constructed using generalized concatenation. The inner codes are quantum codes, the outer codes can be linear or nonlinear classical codes. Many new good codes are found, including both stabilizer codes as well as so-called nonadditive codes.
