Calderbank, Rains, Shor and Sloane (see \cite{Sloane}) showed that error-correction is possible in the context of quantum computations. Quantum stabilizer codes are a class of additive quaternary codes in binary projective spaces, which are…
We solve one of the oldest problems in the theory of quantum stabilizer codes by proving the non-existence of quantum [[13,5,4]]-codes.
We solve the problem of the classification of perfect quantum codes. We prove that the only nontrivial perfect quantum codes are those with the parameters . There exist no other nontrivial perfect quantum codes.
We establish a connection between linear complementary dual (LCD) codes and caps in projective space. Using this framework and the structure theory of maximal caps, we derive nonexistence theorems for LCD codes with minimum distance at…
Let $m_2(n, q), n \geq 3$, be the maximum size of k for which there exists a complete k-cap in PG(n, q). In this paper the known bounds for $m_2(n, q), n \geq 4$, q even and $q \geq 2048$, will be considerably improved.
Let Ck(n, q) be the p-ary linear code defined by the incidence matrix of points and k-spaces in PG(n, q), q = p^h, p prime, h >= 1. In this pa- per, we show that there are no codewords of weight in the open interval ] q^{k+1}-1/q-1, 2q^k[…
This research announcement describes in very rough terms methods and a computer language under development, which can be used to prove the nonexistence of binary linear codes. Over a hundred new results have been obtained by the author. For…
It is known that a Bruen chain of the three-dimensional projective space $\mathrm{PG}(3,q)$ exists for every odd prime power $q$ at most $37$, except for $q=29$. It was shown by Cardinali et. al (2005) that Bruen chains do not exist for…
We show that no additive [15,5,9]_4-code exists. As a consequence the largest dimension k such that an additive quaternary [15,k,9]_4-code exists is k=4.5.
In this paper we present and analyze computational results concerning small complete caps in the projective spaces $\mathrm{PG}(N,q)$ of dimension $N=3$ and $N=4$ over the finite field of order $q$. The results have been obtained using…
The paper is concerned with the number of open gaps in spectra of periodic quantum graphs. The well-known conjecture by Bethe and Sommerfeld (1933) says that the number of open spectral gaps for a system periodic in more than one direction…
In this paper we obtain the necessary condition for the existence of perfect $k$-colorings (equitable $k$-partitions) in Hamming graphs $H(n,q)$, where $q=2,3,4$ and Doob graphs $D(m,n)$. As an application, we prove the non-existence of…
In this paper we prove the existence of a complete cap of ${\rm PG}(4n+1, q)$ of size $2(q^{2n+1}-1)/(q-1)$, for each prime power $q>2$. It is obtained by projecting two disjoint Veronese varieties of ${\rm PG}(2n^2+3n, q)$ from a suitable…
In contrast to the usual quantum systems which have at most a finite number of open spectral gaps if they are periodic in more than one direction, periodic quantum graphs may have gaps arbitrarily high in the spectrum. This property of…
In this paper, we show that a set of q+a hyperplanes, q>13, a<(q-10)/4, that does not cover PG(n,q), does not cover at least q^(n-1)-aq^(n-2) points, and show that this lower bound is sharp. If the number of non- covered points is at most…
This paper provides a semidefinite programming hierarchy based on state polynomial optimization to determine the existence of quantum codes with given parameters. The hierarchy is complete, in the sense that a $(\!(n, K, {\delta})\!)_2$…
The problem of finding quantum error-correcting codes is transformed into the problem of finding additive codes over the field GF(4) which are self-orthogonal with respect to a certain trace inner product. Many new codes and new bounds are…
We establish an upper bound on the spectral gap for compact quantum graphs which depends only on the diameter and total number of vertices. This bound is asymptotically sharp for pumpkin chains with number of edges tending to infinity.
Let $\mathcal{C}$ be a 430-cap of $\mathrm{PG}(6,4)$ having two intersection sizes with respect to hyperplanes. We show that no hyperplane of $\mathrm{PG}(6,4)$ intersects $\mathcal{C}$ in a Hill 78-cap. So if it can be shown that the Hill…
The {\em Fibonacci cube} of dimension $n$, denoted as $\Gamma\_n$, is the subgraph of the $n$-cube $Q\_n$ induced by vertices with no consecutive 1's. In an article of 2016 Ashrafi and his co-authors proved the non-existence of perfect…
