Abstract

Recently, many good quantum codes over various finite fields FqF_q have been constructed from codes over extension rings or mixed alphabet rings via some version of a Gray map. We show that most of these codes can be obtained more directly from cyclic codes or their generalizations over FqF_q. Unless explicit benefits are demonstrated for the indirect approach, we believe that direct and more elementary methods should be preferred.
