Abstract

Reconciliation is one of the most important technology in continuous variables quantum key distribution. In this paper, we implement multidimensional reconciliation, which can realize reconciliation without quantizing continuous variables, that greatly reduces the computational complexity of continuous variable reconciliation. Applying a linear group code of LDPC, the encoding and decoding was simple and has the performance of near to shannon’s limit. LDPC is used in multidimensional reconciliation algorithm for correction. The results show that the key error rate approaches zero when noise-signal ratio comes to 5.2dB..
