Nonbinary quantum Reed-Muller codes

We construct nonbinary quantum codes from classical generalized Reed-Muller codes and derive the conditions under which these quantum codes can be punctured. We provide a partial answer to a question raised by Grassl, Beth and Rotteler on the existence of q-ary quantum MDS codes of length n with q les n les q2 - 1
