  • Abstract
    We explicitly construct an infinite family of asymptotically good concatenated quantum stabilizer codes where the outer codes use quantum Reed-Solomon codes and the inner codes use a set of special quantum codes. In the field of quantum error-correcting codes, this is the first time that a family of asymptotically good quantum codes is derived from bad codes. Its occurrence supplies a gap in quantum coding theory.
