Title: Quantum maximum distance separable and synchronizable codes from a class of cyclic codes over finite fields
Abstract: 
In this talk, all maximum distance separable (briefly, MDS) cyclic and negacyclic codes of length $2p^s$ over $\mathbb F_{p^m}$ are established. As an application, all quantum MDS (briefly, qMDS) codes are constructed from cyclic and negacyclic codes of length $2p^s$ over finite fields using the Calderbank-Shor-Steane (briefly, CSS) and Hermitian constructions. These codes are new in the sense that their parameters are different from all the previous constructions. Furthermore, quantum synchronizable codes (briefly, QSCs) are obtained from cyclic codes of length $2p^s$ over $\mathbb F_{p^m}$. To enrich the variety of available QSCs, many new QSCs are constructed to illustrate our results. Among them, there are QSCs codes with shorter lengths and much larger minimum distances than known primitive narrow-sense BCH codes. Open directions for further research will also be discussed.
