Introduction

This is a database of objects that have several interpretations:

For a more detailed description of the results, see the paper [1], or my Master's thesis [2].

Zero-dimensional [[n,0,d]] quantum stabilizer codes corresponds to additive (n,2n,d) codes over GF(4) which are self-dual with respect to the Hermitian trace inner product [3]. Zero-dimensional quantum codes represent highly entangled single quantum states.

Every self-dual additive code over GF(4) can be represented by a simple undirected graph [4–11]. The graph with adjacency matrix Γ represents the code with generator matrix Γ + ωI. Local complementation, a simple graph operation, generates the orbits of equivalent self-dual additive codes over GF(4) [4,7,8,10,11].

Using LC, we can generate the orbits of all inequivalent self-dual additive codes over GF(4) of length n. These codes have previously been classified by Calderbank et al. [3] (up to n=5), by Hein et al. [9] (up to n=7), by Höhn [12] (up to n=7) and by Glynn et al. [8] (up to n=9). For higher lengths, only optimal codes have been classified [13,14]. We have generated all LC orbits for n up to 12, and this database contains a representative of each orbit. The members of an LC orbit are counted up to isomorphism. (We use the program nauty to check for graph isomorphism.)

A decomposable code can be expressed as the direct sum of two smaller codes. Indecomposable codes correspond to connected graphs. The decomposable codes can easily be constructed by combining indecomposable codes of shorter length. A self-dual additive code over GF(4) is of Type II if all codewords have even weight. We have also classified all Type II (14,214,6) codes.

File formats

We make our data available in two formats. Generator matrices for self-dual additive codes over GF(4) are stored in files that can be read by Magma. Graphs are stored in nauty's graph6 format. This compact representation can be transformed into Magma and Maple format by using the nauty package. The graph6 files can be used as input to all the utilities in the nauty package. Note that the graph with adjacency matrix Γ represents the code with generator matrix Γ + ωI.
