A Simple Approach to Error Reconciliation in Quantum Key Distribution

preprint2010arXivOpen access

Abstract

We discuss the error reconciliation phase in quantum key distribution (QKD) and analyse a simple scheme in which blocks with bad parity (that is, blocks containing an odd number of errors) are discarded. We predict the performance of this scheme and show, using a simulation, that the prediction is accurate.
