Stabilizer quantum codes defined by trace-depending polynomials

Quantum error-correcting codes with good parameters can be constructed by evaluating polynomials at the roots of the polynomial trace [18]. In this paper, we propose to evaluate polynomials at the roots of trace-depending polynomials (given by a constant plus the trace of a polynomial) and show that this procedure gives rise to stabilizer quantum error-correcting codes with a wider range of lengths than in [18] and with excellent parameters. Namely, we are able to provide new binary records according to [21] and non-binary codes improving the ones available in the literature.
