A Study of Channel Estimation and Postprocessing in Quantum Key Distribution Protocols
Abstract
Description
This thesis investigate the channel estimation and the postprocessing of the quantum key distribution protocols. In particular, we propose a new channel estimation procedure, in which we utilize the bit sequences transmitted and received by different bases, and a new postprocessing with two-way classical communication. Then, we show that the key generation rates of the QKD protocols with our channel estimation and/or our postprocessing are higher than those with conventional ones.
