Abstract
This paper studies optimal quantum -LRCs from matrix-product (MP) codes. We establish a necessary and sufficient condition for an MP code to be an optimal -LRC. Based on this, we present a characterization for optimal quantum -LRCs from MP codes with nested constituent codes, and also study optimal quantum -LRCs constructed from MP codes with non-nested constituent codes. Through Hermitian dual-containing and Euclidean dual-containing MP codes, we present five infinite families of optimal quantum -LRCs with flexible parameters.
