On Optimal and Quantum Code Construction from Cyclic Codes over FqPQ with Applications.

The key objective of this paper is to study the cyclic codes over mixed alphabets on the structure of FqPQ, where P=Fq[v]⟨v3-α22v⟩ and Q=Fq[u,v]⟨u2-α12,v3-α22v⟩ are nonchain finite rings and αi is in Fq/{0} for i∈{1,2}, where q=pm with m≥1 is a positive integer and p is an odd prime. Moreover, with the applications, we obtain better and new quantum error-correcting (QEC) codes. For another application over the ring P, we obtain several optimal codes with the help of the Gray image of cyclic codes.
