Quantum Key Distribution Based on Systematic Polar Coding

Abstract

Here we concerned with quantum key distribution - a way to establish common cryptographic key between several parties. The work proposes a combination between quantum key distribution and systematic polar coding (an error correction algorithm) frameworks - quantum key distribution based on systematic polar coding. This results in obtaining key rates greater than standard quantum key distribution (BB84) and its efficient version (eBB84) when finite-size regime and lower-error-rate quantum channel are considered.
