From skew-cyclic codes to asymmetric quantum codes

Abstract: We introduce an additive but not

m a t h b b F_{4}

-linear map

S

from

m a t h b b F_{4}^{n}

to

m a t h b b F_{4}^{2 n}

and exhibit some of its interesting structural properties. If

C

is a linear

[n, k, d]_{4}

-code, then

S (C)

is an additive

(2 n, 2^{2 k}, 2 d)_{4}

-code. If

C

is an additive cyclic code then

S (C)

is an additive quasi-cyclic code of index

2

. Moreover, if

C

is a module

h e t a

-cyclic code, a recently introduced type of code which will be explained below, then

S (C)

is equivalent to an additive cyclic code if

n

is odd and to an additive quasi-cyclic code of index

2

if

n

is even. Given any

(n, M, d)_{4}

-code

C

, the code

S (C)

is self-orthogonal under the trace Hermitian inner product. Since the mapping

S

preserves nestedness, it can be used as a tool in constructing additive asymmetric quantum codes.
