Construction

Construction of a [[1,0,1]] quantum code:
[1]:  [[1, 0, 1]] self-dual quantum code over GF(2^2)
     Construction from a stored generator matrix

    stabilizer matrix:

Notes

• All codes establishing the lower bounds where constructed using MAGMA.
• Most upper bounds on qubit codes for n≤100 are based on a MAGMA program by Eric Rains.
• For n>100, the upper bounds on qubit codes are weak (and not even monotone in k).
• Some additional information can be found in the book by Nebe, Rains, and Sloane.
• My apologies to all authors that have contributed codes to this table for not giving specific credits.
