contents In this paper, we introduce a construction of quantum convolutional codes (QCCs) based on difference triangle sets (DTSs). To construct QCCs, one must determine polynomial stabilizers $X(D)$ and $Z(D)$ that commute (symplectic orthogonality), while keeping the stabilizers sparse and encoding memory small. To construct Z(D), we show that one can use a reflection of the DTS indices of X(D), where X(D) corresponds to a classical convolutional self-orthogonal code (CSOC) constructed from strong DTS supports. The motivation of this approach is to provide a constructive design that guarantees a prescribed minimum distance. We provide numerical results demonstrating the construction for a variety of code rates.
