Abstract In this paper, we provide methods for constructing Hermitian dual-containing (HDC) matrix-product codes over Fq 2 from some non-singular matrices and a special sequence of HDC codes and determine parameters of obtained matrix-product codes when the input matrix and sequence of HDC codes satisfy some conditions. Then, using some 4 nested HDC BCH codes with lengths n = q a−1 (a = 1 or a = q ± 1), we construct some HDC matrix-product codes with lengths N = 2n or 3n and derive nonbinary quantum codes with length N from these matrix-product codes via Hermitian construction. Four classes of quantum codes over Fq (3 ≤ q ≤ 5) are presented, whose parameters are better than those in the literature. Besides, some of our new quantum codes can exceed the quantum Gilbert-Varshamov (GV) bound.

1 Introduction As we all know, the theory of quantum error-correcting codes (QECCs) has been extensively studied in the literature [1–14]. Constructing QECCs with good parameters from classical linear codes is by far a hot issue. One of the well-known constructions of QECCs is Hermitian construction (see Theorem 1), which focuses on HDC classical codes. As a special class of linear codes, matrix-product codes, which also can be employed to produce quantum codes, attract coding theorists’ attentions since the introduction by Blackmore and Norton [15]. Matrix-product codes over finite fields can be viewed as a generalization of the Plotkin’s (u|u +v)-construction and the ternary (u +v +w|2u +v|u)-construction, see Refs. [16–20]. It is worth mentioning that Mankean and Jitman gave a necessary condition that matrix-product construction are Euclidean and Hermitian self-orthogonal linear codes [21,22]. In [23], Galindo et al. firstly constructed quantum codes from matrix-product codes via Steane’s enlargement construction. Three classes of Hermitian self-orthogonal matrix-product codes with lengths n = 2(q 2 ± 1) and n = 2q 2 were used to obtain q-ary QECCs, whose minimal distance did not exceed q + 1. By discussing a class of matrices, Liu [24] further generalized those previous results i
