Memory effects can make the transmission capability of a communication channel uncomputable
David Elkouss, David Pérez-García
Most communication channels are subjected to noise. One of the goals of Information Theory is to add redundancy in the transmission of information so that the information is transm…
Untainted Puncturing for Irregular Low-Density Parity-Check Codes
David Elkouss, Jesus Martinez-Mateo, Vicente Martin
Puncturing is a well-known coding technique widely used for constructing rate-compatible codes. In this paper, we consider the problem of puncturing low-density parity-check codes…
Improved construction of irregular progressive edge-growth Tanner graphs
Jesus Martinez-Mateo, David Elkouss, Vicente Martin
The progressive edge-growth algorithm is a well-known procedure to construct regular and irregular low-density parity-check codes. In this paper, we propose a modification of the o…
Secure rate-adaptive reconciliation
David Elkouss, Jesus Martinez-Mateo, Vicente Martin
We consider in this paper the problem of information reconciliation in the context of secret key agreement between two legitimate parties, Alice and Bob. Beginning the discussion w…
Interactive Reconciliation with Low-Density Parity-Check Codes
Jesus Martinez-Mateo, David Elkouss, Vicente Martin
Efficient information reconciliation is crucial in several scenarios, being quantum key distribution a remarkable example. However, efficiency is not the only requirement for deter…
Rate Compatible Protocol for Information Reconciliation: An application to QKD
David Elkouss, Jesus Martinez-Mateo, Daniel Lancho +1
Information Reconciliation is a mechanism that allows to weed out the discrepancies between two correlated variables. It is an essential component in every key agreement protocol w…
Efficient reconciliation protocol for discrete-variable quantum key distribution
David Elkouss, Anthony Leverrier, Romain Alléaume +1
Reconciliation is an essential part of any secret-key agreement protocol and hence of a Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) protocol, where two legitimate parties are given correlated d…
