Abstract

Entanglement-assisted quantum error-correcting (EAQEC) codes are a generalization of quantum error-correcting (QEC) codes, which can be constructed from arbitrary classical linear codes by relaxing the dual-containing condition and by using preshared entangled states between the sender and the receiver. In this paper, we investigate EAQEC codes of length \(n=\frac{2(q^2+1)}{a}\), where q is an odd prime power, \(a=m^2+1\) and m is an odd integer. The resulting EAQEC codes are entanglement-assisted quantum maximum-distance-separable (EAQMDS) codes when the minimum distance \(d\le \frac{n+2}{2}\).
