Quantum maximal-distance-separable (MDS) codes form an important class of quantum codes. It is very hard to construct quantum MDS codes with relatively large minimum distance. In this paper, based on classical constacyclic codes, we…

In this paper we investigate the separation properties and related bounds of some codes. We tried to obtain a new existence result for $(w_1, w_2)$-separating codes and discuss the "optimality" of the upper bounds. Next we tried to study…
