New entanglement-assisted quantum codes constructed from Hermitian LCD codes

Abstract

<abstract><p>Hermitian linear complementary dual (LCD) codes are a class of linear codes that intersect with their Hermitian dual trivially. Each Hermitian LCD code can give an entanglement-assisted quantum error-correcting code (EAQECC) with maximal entanglement. Methods of constructing Hermitian LCD codes from known codes were developed, and seven new Hermitian LCD codes with parameters $ [119,4,88]_{4} $, $ [123,4,91]_{4} $, $ [124,4,92]_{4} $, $ [136,4,101]_{4} $, $ [140,4,104]_{4} $, $ [188,4,140]_{4} $ and $ [212,4,158]_{4} $ were constructed. Seven families of Hermitian LCD codes and their related EAQECCs were derived from these codes. These new EAQECCs have better parameters than those known in the literature.</p></abstract>
