Some of the resulting codes are optimal or near-optimal and include projective codes over G F ( 4 ) that give rise to optimal or near optimal quantum codes. In addition, the codes yield interesting combinatorial structures, such as strongly regular graphs and block designs. View Full-Tex %U https://www.mdpi.com/1999-4893/12/8/168
