Tight Secure Key Rates for CV-QKD with 8PSK Modulation
arXiv:2107.06110 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevApplied.18.034073
Abstract
We use a recent numerical security proof approach to calculate tight secure key rates in the presence of collective attacks for a continuous-variable (CV) eight-state phase-shift keying (8PSK) protocol with heterodyne detection in the asymptotic limit. The results are compared to achievable secure key rates of a QPSK protocol obtained with the same security proof technique. Furthermore, we investigate the influence of radial postselection on the secure key rate and examine a recently suggested strategy to reduce the computational requirements on the error-correction phase for four-state phase-shift-keying protocols. Based on our investigations, we suggest different strategies to reduce the raw key of 8PSK protocols significantly, only on the cost of a slightly lower secure key rate. This can be used to lower the computational effort of the error-correction phase, a known bottleneck in many practical implementations, considerably.
