Abstract

It is known that nonadditive quantum codes can have higher code dimensions than stabilizer codes for the same length and minimum distance. The class of codeword stabilized codes (CWS) provides tools to obtain new nonadditive quantum codes by reducing the problem to finding nonlinear classical codes. In this work, we establish some results on the kind of non-Pauli operators that can be used as observables in the decoding scheme of CWS codes and propose a procedure to obtain those observables.
