Hermitian LCD codes over \(\mathbb{F}_{q^2}+u \mathbb{F}_{q^2}\) and their applications to maximal entanglement EAQECCs (Q2130041)

The authors focused on Hermitian LCD codes over \(R = \mathbb{F}_{q^2} +u\mathbb{F}_{q^2}\) and their applications to maximal entanglement EAQECCs. They gave a sufficient condition for a linear code \(C\) of length \(n\) over \(R\) to be a Hermitian LCD code. And they claimed that there does not exist a nonfree Hermitian LCD code of length \(n\) over \(R\). When \(\gcd(n, q) = 1\), and \(\gamma\) is a unit in \(R\), all \(\gamma\)-constacyclic Hermitian LCD codes are obtained. The authors also derived symplectic LCD codes of length \(2n\) over \(\mathbb{F}_{q2}\) as Gray images of linear and constacyclic codes of length \(n\) over \(R\), and presented a construction of a class of maximal entanglement EAQECCs by employing a class of \((1-u)\)-constacyclic Hermitian LCD codes of length \(n\) over \(R\).
