COMMENTS
Also number of nonisomorphic indecomposable self-dual codes of Type 4^H+ and length n.
Each self-dual (additive) quantum code of length n stabilizes an essentially unique quantum state on n qubits, the 2^n coefficients of which can be assumed to take values in {0,1,-1}. It also corresponds to a "quantum" set of n lines in PG(n-1,2): the Grassmannian coordinates of these lines sum to zero. A related sequence is the number of nonisomorphic (possibly decomposable) self-dual quantum codes on n qubits, A094927.
Also the number of equivalence classes of connected graphs on n nodes up to sequences of local complement ation (or vertex neighborhood complementation) and isomorphism.
