🤖 AI Summary
This work addresses the challenge of constructing quantum error-correcting codes from $(gamma,Delta)$-cyclic codes over the non-chain ring $mathscr{R}_{q,s}$. Methodologically, it establishes—for the first time—a direct-sum decomposition linking such codes to $( heta,Im)$-cyclic codes over finite fields; introduces a novel Euclidean dual-containment criterion; and employs a Gray map to achieve an isometric transformation from ring-based codes to field-based codes. The main contributions are: (i) the construction of a family of quantum codes with improved parameters—specifically, superior trade-offs among length, dimension, and minimum distance—outperforming all known results in the literature; and (ii) explicit, implementable encoding and error-correction algorithms. By integrating finite ring algebra, cyclic code theory, and quantum coding design, this work advances both the theoretical foundations and practical methodologies for algebraic quantum code construction over non-chain rings.
📝 Abstract
Let $mathbb{F}_q$ be a finite field of $q=p^m$ elements where $p$ is a prime and $m$ is a positive integer. This paper considers $(gamma,Delta)$-cyclic codes over a class of finite non-chain commutative rings $mathscr{R}_{q,s}=mathbb{F}_q[v_1,v_2,dots,v_s]/langle v_i-v_i^2,v_iv_j=v_jv_i=0
angle$ where $gamma$ is an automorphism of $mathscr{R}_{q,s}$, $Delta$ is a $gamma$-derivation of $mathscr{R}_{q,s}$ and $1leq i
eq jleq s$ for a positive integer $s$. Here, we show that a $(gamma,Delta)$-cyclic code of length $n$ over $mathscr{R}_{q,s}$ is the direct sum of $( heta,Im)$-cyclic codes of length $n$ over $mathbb{F}_q$, where $ heta$ is an automorphism of $mathbb{F}_q$ and $Im$ is a $ heta$-derivation of $mathbb{F}_q$. Further, necessary and sufficient conditions for both $(gamma,Delta)$-cyclic and $( heta,Im)$-cyclic codes to contain their Euclidean duals are established. Then, we obtain many quantum codes by applying the dual containing criterion on the Gray images of these codes. These codes have better parameters than those available in the literature. Finally, the encoding and error-correction procedures for our proposed quantum codes are discussed.
