New quantum codes from skew constacyclic codes (Q6167304)

In the paper under review, the authors construct quantum codes from skew constacyclic codes over the finite commutative non-chain ring of order \(p^{2^{\ell} m}\) with characteristic odd prime \(p\): \[ R_{\ell,m} = \mathbb{F}_{p^m}[v_1,v_2,\dots,v_{\ell}]/\langle v^2_i-1, v_iv_j-v_jv_i\rangle_{1\leq i, j\leq \ell}, \] where \(m\) and \(\ell\) are positive integers. The two major contributions of this paper are as follows: 1. Determine the complete algebraic structure of skew constacyclic codes as well as their Euclidean dual codes over \(R_{\ell,m}\). 2. Using the CSS construction, the paper provides many new and better quantum codes which improve the parameters of the best-known quantum codes available in the literature.
