Efficient Information Reconciliation for High-Dimensional Quantum Key Distribution

Abstract

The Information Reconciliation phase in quantum key distribution has significant impact on the range and throughput of any QKD system. We explore this stage for high-dimensional QKD implementations and introduce two novel methods for reconciliation. The methods are based on nonbinary LDPC codes and the Cascade algorithm, and achieve efficiencies close the the Slepian-Wolf bound on q-ary symmetric channels.
