New Families of Asymmetric Quantum MDS Codes via Affine and Projective Partitions

Year: 2026
Type: article
Abstract: We construct three new families of asymmetric quantum MDS codes from nested Hermitian self-orthogonal generalized Reed–Solomon and extended generalized Reed–Solomon codes over Fq2. The construction is developed in three settings: affine partitions of Fq2, projective norm partitions of Fq2*, and extended affine configurations obtained by adjoining the point at infinity. In each case, the Hermitian orthogonality conditions are reduced to explicit linear systems over Fq, whose solvability follows from structured moment identities and Vandermonde-type arguments. This yields nested classical MDS codes satisfying the Hermitian dual-containment condition required in the Hermitian construction of asymmetric quantum codes. As a consequence, we obtain three explicit families of asymmetric quantum MDS codes with fully determined lengths, dimensions, and asymmetric distances dz and dx. Our results show that affine and projective partition techniques provide a natural and effective framework for constructing optimal asymmetric quantum codes with flexible parameters.
