Elementary Constructions of Best Known Quantum Codes

Abstract

Recently, many good quantum codes over various finite fields Fq have been constructed from codes over extension rings or mixed alphabet rings via some version of a Gray map. We show that most of these codes can be obtained more directly from cyclic codes or their generalizations over Fq. Unless explicit benefits are demonstrated for the indirect approach, we believe that direct and more elementary methods should be preferred.
