New Methods for Constructing Classical and Quantum Codes from Graphs and Matroids
Abstract
In this paper, we present a method for constructing linear codes derived from book graphs. Applying such a method, we construct binary codes that have the greatest possible minimum distance for their length and dimension by means of the $2$-sum of two equal book graphs. We then utilize matroid and graph theory together to investigate some properties of the resulting linear codes. Furthermore, we show that, from the incidence matrix of any graph, we can obtain a linear code over any finite field maintaining the same parameters. Furthermore, we show how the condition for two linear codes to generate a Calderbank-Shor-Steane (CSS) code translates into matroid theory and, utilizing cycle graphs, we exhibit a way to generate codes that meet this condition.
