Near MDS (NMDS) codes are closely related to interesting objects in finite geometry and have nice applications in combinatorics and cryptography. But there are many unsolved problems about construction of NMDS codes. In this paper, by using symmetrical orthogonal arrays (OAs), we construct a lot of NMDS, $m$-MDS and almost extremal NMDS codes. We establish a relation between asymmetrical OAs and quantum error correcting codes (QECCs) over mixed alphabets. Since quantum maximum distance separable (QMDS) codes over mixed alphabets with the dimension equal to one have not been found in all the literature so far, the definition of a near quantum maximum distance separable (NQMDS) code over mixed alphabets is proposed. By using asymmetrical OAs, we obtain many such codes.

We consider a star-network of $n=n_0+n_p$ spin-$\frac{1}{2}$ particles, where interaction between $n_0$ central spins and $n_p$ peripheral spins are of the XYZ-type. In the limit $n_0/n_p\ll 1$, we show that for odd $n$, the ground state is doubly degenerate, while for even $n$, the energy gap becomes negligible when $n$ is large, inducing an \emph{effective} double degeneracy. In the same limit, we show that for vanishing $xy$-anisotropy $γ$, bipartite entanglement on the peripheral spins computed using either a partial trace-based, or a measurement-based approach exhibits a logarithmic growth with $n_p$, where the sizes of the partitions are typically $\sim n_p/2$. This feature disappears for $γ\neq 0$, which we refer to as the \emph{anisotropy effect}. Interestingly, when the system is taken out of equilibrium by the introduction of a magnetic field of constant strength on all spins, the time-averaged bipartite entanglement on the periphery at the long-time limit exhibits a logarithmic growth with $n_p$ irrespective of the value of $γ$. We further study the $n_0/n_p\gg 1$ and $n_0/n_p\rightarrow 1$ limits of the model, and show that the behaviour of bipartite peripheral entanglement is qualitatively different from that of the $n_0/n_p\ll 1$ limit.
