The parameters of a nondegenerate quantum code must obey the Hamming bound. An important open problem in quantum coding theory is whether or not the parameters of a degenerate quantum code can violate this bound for nondegenerate quantum…
Quantum computing is deemed to require error correction at scale to mitigate physical noise by reducing it to lower noise levels while operating on encoded logical qubits. Popular quantum error correction schemes include CSS code, of which…
We investigate the class of CSS-$T$ codes, a family of quantum error-correcting codes that allows for a transversal $T$-gate. We extend the definition of a pair of linear codes $(C_1,C_2)$, $C_i\subseteq\mathbb{F}_q^n$, forming a $q$-ary…
We show how good quantum error-correcting codes can be constructed using generalized concatenation. The inner codes are quantum codes, the outer codes can be linear or nonlinear classical codes. Many new good codes are found, including both…
We generalize a construction of non-binary quantum LDPC codes over $\F_{2^m}$ due to \cite{KHIS11a} and apply it in particular to toric codes. We obtain in this way not only codes with better rates than toric codes but also improve…

In this paper, we study the construction of quantum codes by applying Steane-enlargement to codes from the Hermitian curve. We cover Steane-enlargement of both usual one-point Hermitian codes and of order bound improved Hermitian codes. In…
In this paper, we construct the first families of asymmetric quantum convolutional codes (AQCC)'s. These new AQCC's are constructed by means of the CSS-type construction applied to suitable families of classical convolutional codes, which…
Quantum error correction is rapidly seeing first experimental implementations, but there is a significant gap between asymptotically optimal error-correcting codes and codes that are experimentally feasible. Quantum LDPC codes range from…
We analyze the performance of quantum stabilizer codes, one of the most important classes for practical implementations, on both symmetric and asymmetric quantum channels. To this aim, we first derive the weight enumerator (WE) for the…
