摘要

Continuous-variable quantum key distribution (CVQKD) [1-7] allows two remote parties (Alice and Bob) to share a secret key,even in the presence of an eavesdropper (Eve) with unlimited computational power [8-17].While,a highly efficient reconciliation protocol [18-21] is crucial in a CVQKD system,which can not only extract the errorless secret keys,but also provide a promising way to achieve a long distance CVQKD at a low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR).There are some practical reconciliation protocols [18-21] for CVQKD systems,such as,sliced reconciliation protocol (SEC) [18],sign reconciliation protocol [19],and multidimensional reconciliation protocol (MR) [21].Compared with the others,MR utilized the algebraic properties of a multidimensional method,which did not require quantization or any other post-selection technique.
