Hermitian hull of some GRS codes and new entanglement-assisted quantum MDS codes
摘要
We study the Hermitian hull of a particular family of generalized Reed–Solomon codes. The problem of computing the dimension of the hull is translated to a counting problem in a lattice. By solving this problem, we provide explicit formulas for the dimension of the hull, which determines the minimum number required of maximally entangled pairs for the associated entanglement-assisted quantum error-correcting codes. This flexible construction allows to obtain a wide range of entanglement-assisted quantum MDS codes, as well as new parameters.
