Abstract: Asymmetric quantum error-correcting codes form an important class of quantum codes. Since the error probability of bit-flip is less than the error probability of phase reversal, quantum error correction should take into account the asymmetric quantum channel. In this paper, based on typical constacyclic codes over finite field, two classes of asymmetric quantum error-correcting codes are obtained according to the CSS construction. These asymmetric quantum error-correcting codes are new in the sense that their parameters are not covered by the codes available in the literature and they are also optimal due to the fact that they achieve the Singleton bound of asymmetric quantum error-correcting codes.
