Errata:
The last line of Theorem 6 should be:
(equivalently: $(-Z)\cap A=\emptyset$ or $(Z\cap A)^H=-((-Z)\cap A)^H$).
I would like to thank Markus Grassl for pointing this out.
The error is corrcted in the attached PDF.
The translation from quantum error correcting codes to the language of error-correcting codes as given in [CRSS] leads to quaternary codes, which are linear over GF(2). For background and motivation the reader is advised to consult [CRSS] and its extensive bibliography. It is natural to consider a generalization from GF(2) to an arbitrary finite ground field GF(q). We want to apply a variant of our theory of twisted BCH-codes as developed in Twisted BCH-codes.
