Constacyclic BCH codes have been widely studied in the literature and have been used to construct quantum codes in latest years. However, for the class of quantum codes of length
over
with q an odd prime power, there are only the ones of distance
are obtained in the literature. In this paper, by a detailed analysis of properties of
-ary
... [Show full abstract] cyclotomic cosets, maximum designed distance of a class of Hermitian dual-containing constacyclic BCH codes with length are determined, this class of constacyclic codes has some characteristic analog to that of primitive BCH codes over . Then we can obtain a sequence of dual-containing constacyclic codes of designed distances . Consequently, new quantum codes with distance can be constructed from these dual-containing codes via Hermitian Construction. These newly obtained quantum codes have better code rate compared with those constructed from primitive BCH codes.
