Let R = F3 + vF3 be a finite commutative ring, where v2 = 1. It is a finite semi-local ring, not a chain ring. In this paper, we give a construction for quantum codes from cyclic codes over R. We derive self-orthogonal codes over F3 as Gray images of linear and cyclic codes over R. In particular, we use two codes associated with a cyclic code over R of arbitrary length to determine the parameters of the corresponding quantum code.

Let [Formula: see text] be an odd prime, and [Formula: see text] be an integer such that [Formula: see text]. Using pairwise orthogonal idempotents [Formula: see text] of the ring [Formula: see text], with [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] is decomposed as [Formula: see text], which contains the ring [Formula: see text] as a subring. It is shown that, for [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], and it is invertible if and only if [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] are units of [Formula: see text]. In such cases, we study [Formula: see text]-constacyclic codes over [Formula: see text]. We present a direct sum decomposition of [Formula: see text]-constacyclic codes and their duals, which provides their corresponding generators. Necessary and sufficient conditions for a [Formula: see text]-constacyclic code to contain its dual are obtained. As an application, many new quantum codes over [Formula: see text], with better parameters than existing ones, are constructed from cyclic and negacyclic codes over [Formula: see text].
