Nonbinary Quantum Stabilizer Codes
01 January 2001
We define and show how to construct nonbinary quantum stabilizer codes. Our approach is based on nonbinary error bases. It generalizes the relationship between selforthogonal codes over F sub 4 and binary quantum codes to one between selforthogonal codes over F sub q2 and q-ary quantum codes for any prime power q. Index Terms - quantum stabilizer codes, nonbinary quantum codes, selforthogonal codes.
