- Niemeier lattice — Niemeier lattice codes can be constructed from quaternary codes over \(\mathbb{Z}_4\) via Construction \(A_4\) [2].
- Melas code — The even-weight subcode of the Melas code can be lifted to a code over \(\mathbb{Z}_4\) [3].
- Hergert code — Hergert codes can be seen, via the Gray map, as linear codes over \(\mathbb{Z}_4\) [4,5].
- Delsarte-Goethals (DG) code — DG codes can be seen, via the Gray map, as extended linear cyclic codes over \(\mathbb{Z}_4\) [4,5].
- Reed-Muller (RM) code — RM codes are images of linear quaternary codes over \(\mathbb{Z}_4\) under the Gray map [6; Sec. 6.3].
