In this paper, we construct several infinite families of $q$-ary constacyclic codes over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ with length $n$, dimension around $n/2$, and minimum distance at least $cn/\log_q n$ for some positive constant $c$. They…

Quantum digital signature (QDS) is an approach to guarantee the nonrepudiation, unforgeability and transferability of a signature with the information-theoretical security. All previous experimental realizations of QDS relied on an…

We study $q$-ary codes with distance defined by a partial order of the coordinates of the codewords. Maximum Distance Separable (MDS) codes in the poset metric have been studied in a number of earlier works. We consider codes that are close…

Motivated by the application of high-density data storage technologies, symbol-pair codes are proposed to protect against pair-errors in symbol-pair channels, whose outputs are overlapping pairs of symbols. The research of symbol-pair codes…

We describe a general method for turning quantum circuits into sparse quantum subsystem codes. The idea is to turn each circuit element into a set of low-weight gauge generators that enforce the input-output relations of that circuit…

Let $q$ be a prime power. Let $\lambda>1$ be a divisor of $q-1$, and let $\tau>1$ and $\rho>1$ be divisors of $q+1$. Under certain conditions we prove that there exists an MDS stabilizer quantum code with length $n=\lambda \tau \sigma$…

We study (symbol-pair) codes for symbol-pair read channels introduced recently by Cassuto and Blaum (2010). A Singleton-type bound on symbol-pair codes is established and infinite families of optimal symbol-pair codes are constructed. These…

One central theme in quantum error-correction is to construct quantum codes that have a large minimum distance. In this paper, we first present a construction of classical codes based on certain class of polynomials. Through these classical…

A linear code with parameters $[n,k,n-k]$ is said to be almost maximum distance separable (AMDS for short). An AMDS code whose dual is also AMDS is referred to as an near maximum distance separable (NMDS for short) code. NMDS codes have…
