New Quantum Codes from CSS Codes

Abstract

We present a new propagation rule for CSS codes. Starting with a CSS code [ ⁣[n,k,d] ⁣]q[\![n,k,d]\!]_q, we construct a CSS code with parameters [ ⁣[n2,k,d1] ⁣]q[\![n-2,k,d-1]\!]_q. In general, one would only obtain a code with parameters [ ⁣[n2,k,d2] ⁣]q[\![n-2,k,d-2]\!]_q. The construction applies to asymmetric quantum codes from the CSS construction as well.
