Description
Also called a linear stabilizer code. A \([[n,k,d]]_q\) stabilizer code whose stabilizer's symplectic representation forms a linear subspace. In other words, the set of \(q\)-ary vectors representing the stabilizer group is closed under both addition and multiplication by elements of \(GF(q)\). In contrast, Galois-qudit stabilizer codes admit sets of vectors that are closed under addition only.
The number of generators \(r\) for a true stabilizer code is a multiple of \(m\) (recall that \(q=p^m\) for Galois qudits). As a result, the number \(k=n-r/m\) of logical qudits is an integer.
Each code can be represented by a stabilizer generator matrix \(H=(A|B)\), where each row \((a|b)\) is the \(GF(q)\)-valued symplectic representation of a stabilizer generator.
A Hermitian self-orthogonal linear \([n,k,d]_{q^2}\) code can be used to construct an \([[n,n-2k]]_q\) true stabilizer code with distance no less than \(d\). This Hermitian construction was first proven via the symplectic representation (showing self-orthogonality under the trace-symplectic inner product; see Ref. [1], Corr. 1), and later proven via the stabilizer-over-\(GF(q^2)\) construction (showing self-orthogonality under the trace-alternating inner product; see Ref. [2], Corr. 19). There is an isomorphism between the symplectic and stabilizer-over-\(GF(q^2)\) representations (Ref. [4], Thm. 27.3.8). The Hermitian construction has been extended to \(q^{2m}\)-ary Hermitian self-orthogonal linear codes [5] and similar constructions exist [6].

- Galois-qudit BCH code — Galois-qudit BCH codes constructed via the CSS construction are Galois-qudit CSS codes, and the rest are true stabilizer codes.
- Galois-qudit CSS code — Galois-qudit CSS codes are true stabilizer codes [3].
- Galois-qudit GRS code — Galois-qudit GRS codes constructed via the CSS construction are Galois-qudit CSS codes, and the rest are true stabilizer codes.
- Stabilizer code over \(GF(q^2)\) — Trace-alternating self-orthogonal linear codes over \(GF(q^2)\) are equivalent to a class of true stabilizer codes [3]. Hermitian self-orthogonal linear codes over \(GF(q^2)\) are automatically trace-alternating self-orthogonal and can be used to construct true stabilizer codes via the stabilizer-over-\(GF(q^2)\) construction ([2], Corr. 19).
Cousins
- Linear \(q\)-ary code — A true Galois-qudit stabilizer code is the closest quantum analogue of a linear code over \(GF(q)\) because the \(q\)-ary vectors corresponding to the symplectic representation of the stabilizers form a linear subspace.
- Dual linear code — Hermitian self-orthogonal linear codes over \(GF(q^2)\) yield true stabilizer codes via either the symplectic representation (showing self-orthogonality under the trace-symplectic inner product; see Ref. [1], Corr. 1) or the stabilizer-over-\(GF(q^2)\) construction (showing self-orthogonality under the trace-alternating inner product; see Ref. [2], Corr. 19 or Ref. [4], Thm. 27.3.8).
- Quantum maximum-distance-separable (MDS) code — Many MDS codes are constructed from Hermitian self-orthogonal codes over \(GF(q^2)\) using the Hermitian construction [7][8][9][10], in particular from cyclic [11], constacyclic [12][13] and negacyclic [14] codes.
- Matrix-product code — Hermitian self-orthogonal matrix-product codes over \(GF(q^2)\) can be used to construct true stabilizer codes [15][16].
