Abstract: We study the functional codes $C_h(X)$ defined by G. Lachaud in $lbrack10brack$ where $Xsubset{mathbbP}^N$ is an algebraic projective variety of degree $d$ and dimension $m$. When $X$ is a hermitian surface in $PG(3,q)$, S{o}rensen in lbrack 15 brack, has conjectured for $hlet$ (where $q=t^2$) the following result : ${\displaystyle }$# X_{Z(f)}(mathbb{F}_{q}) le h(t^{3}+ t^{2}-t)+t+1${\displaystyle }$ which should give the exact value of the minimum distance of the functional code $C_h(X)$. In this paper we resolve the conjecture of S{o}rensen in the case of quadrics (i.e. $h=2$), we show the geometrical structure of the minimum weight codewords and their number; we also estimate the second weight and the geometrical structure of the codewords reaching this second weight
