contents We propose a method for constructing quantum error-correcting codes based on non-binary low-density parity-check codes with Tanner graph girth 16. While conventional constructions using circulant permutation matrices are limited to girth 12, our method employs affine permutation matrices and a randomized sequential selection procedure to eliminate short cycles and achieve girth 16. Numerical experiments show that the proposed codes significantly reduce the number of low-weight codewords. Joint belief propagation decoding over depolarizing channels reveals that although a slight degradation appears in the waterfall region, a substantial improvement is achieved in the error floor performance. We also evaluated the minimum distance and found that the proposed codes achieve a larger upper bound compared to conventional constructions.
