We give a general procedure for weight reducing quantum codes. This corrects a previous work\cite{owr}, and introduces a new technique that we call "coning" to effectively induce high weight stabilizers in an LDPC code. As one application,…

A divisible binary classical code is one in which every code word has weight divisible by a fixed integer. If the divisor is $2^\nu$ for a positive integer $\nu$, then one can construct a Calderbank-Shor-Steane (CSS) code, where…
