A Construction of Quantum Stabilizer Codes from Classical Codes and Butson Hadamard Matrices

In this paper, we give a constructive proof to show that if there exist a classical linear code C is a subset of F_q^n of dimension k and a classical linear code D is a subset of F_q^k^m of dimension s, where q is a power of a prime number p, then there exists an [[nm, ks, d]]_q quantum stabilizer code with d determined by C and D by identifying the stabilizer group of the code. In the construction, we use a particular type of Butson Hadamard matrices equivalent to multiple Kronecker products of the Fourier matrix of order p. We also consider the same construction of a quantum code for a general normalized Butson Hadamard matrix and search for a condition for the quantum code to be a stabilizer code.

Butson-Hadamard matrices and Plotkin-optimal p^k-ary codes

A Butson-Hadamard matrix H is a square matrix of dimension n whose entries are complex roots of unity such that HH*= nI. In the first part of this work, some new results on generalized Gray map are studied. In the second part, codes obtained from Butson-Hadamard matrices and some bounds on the minimum distance of these codes are proved. In particular, we show that the code obtained from a Butson-Hadamard matrix meets the Plotkin bound under a non-homogeneous weight. We also give the parameters of some code families which are obtained from modified Butson-Hadamard matrices under a (non)homogeneous Gray map.
