Optimized cascade protocol for efficient information reconciliation in quantum key distribution systems

CASCADE protocol is an error detection and correction (EDC) method proposed firstly for use in quantum key distribution (QKD) systems. It is used to detect and correct all the errors in keys transmitted over a noisy quantum channel. This is done by ...

Reversible Computation: Extending Horizons of Computing
Abstract
Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) protocols allow the establishment of symmetric cryptographic keys up to a limited distance at limited rates. Due to optical misalignment, noise in quantum detectors, disturbance of the quantum channel or ...
Study on error reconciliation in quantum key distribution

As one of the most important procedure in quantum key distribution system, the error reconciliation algorithm has drew many attentions. However, studies on the error reconciliation algorithm mainly focuses on the reconciliation efficiency. Since the ...
