quantum error-correcting codes

We investigate one-point algebraic geometric codes CL(D, G) associated to maximal curves recently characterized by Tafazolian and Torres given by the affine equation yl = f(x), where f(x) is a separable polynomial of degree r relatively prime to l. We mainly focus on the curve y4 = x3 +x and Picard curves given by the equations y3 = x4-x and y3 = x4 -1. As a result, we obtain exact value of minimum distance in several cases and get many records that don’t exist in MinT tables (tables of optimal parameters for linear codes), such as codes over F72 of dimension less than 36. Moreover, using maximal Hermitian curves and their sub-covers, we obtain a necessary and sufficient condition for self-orthogonality and Hermitian self-orthogonally of CL(D, G).
