Construction of good quantum codes via classical codes is an important task for quantum information and quantum computing. In this work, by virtue of a decomposition of the defining set of constacyclic codes we have constructed eight new classes of entanglement-assisted quantum maximum distance separable codes.

IntroductionQuantum error-correcting (QEC for brevity) codes were introduced for security of quantum information. Construction of good quantum codes via classical codes is a crucial task for quantum information and quantum computing (see Refs. [1,4,5,7,17,26,27,30,32] for example). A q-ary quantum code Q, denoted by parameters n, k, d q , is a q k dimensional subspace of the Hilbert space C q n . A quantum code C with parameters n, k, d q satisfy the quantum Singleton bound: k ≤ n − 2d + 2 (see [17]). If k = n − 2d + 2, then C is called a quantum maximum-distance-separable (MDS) code. In recent years, many researchers have been working to find quantum MDS codes via constacyclic codes (for instance, see [6,19,16,18,32,33]).Entanglement-assisted quantum error correcting (EAQEC for short) codes use pre-existing entanglement between the sender and receiver to improve
