Performance of a reconciliation method operating on a discreet quantum key distribution system
Abstract
Reconciliation is a mechanism allowing to weed out the discrepancies between two correlated variables. It has great role in every Quantum Key Distribution protocol where the key has to be transmitted through a noisy channel or as in our case of study in presence of an eavesdropping. In this paper, we show that for discrete-variable QKD protocols, this problem can be advantageously solved with Turbo codes. In particular, we demonstrate that our method leads to a significant improvement of Bit Error Rate, may divide it by three in presence of a eavesdropper even with great eavesdropping capability.
