Multidimensional CV-QKD Reconciliation
Methodology
Transforms physical Gaussian quantum channel into virtual BIAWGN channel, enabling modern error-correcting codes for CV-QKD at low SNR and long distances.
Key Insights
- High-dimensional constructions: Beyond algebraic dimensions 1, 2, 4, 8 to arbitrary dimensions
- Virtual channel construction: Gaussian → BIAWGN transformation for LDPC code compatibility
- HDirac framework: Open-source simulation for arbitrary dimensions
- Trade-off analysis: Dimension vs reconciliation efficiency vs frame error rate
- Reverse reconciliation: Practical coding schemes for long-distance operation
Implementation
- Use HDirac (github.com/aff3ct/HDirac) for simulation
- Evaluate LDPC codes at various dimensions
- Optimize for SNR and distance requirements
