• Abstract: Enhancing the performance of quantum key distribution is crucial, driving the exploration of various key distillation techniques to increase the key rate and tolerable error rate. It is imperative to develop a comprehensive framework to encapsulate and enhance the existing methods. In this work, we propose an advantage distillation framework for quantum key distribution. Building on the entanglement distillation protocol, our framework integrates all the existing key distillation methods and offers better generalization and performance. Using classical linear codes, our framework can achieve higher key rates, particularly without one-time pad encryption for postprocessing. Our approach provides insights into existing protocols and offers a systematic way for future enhancements of quantum key distribution protocols.

  There are two primary approaches to achieving quantum-resistant security: quantum key distribution (QKD) and post-quantum cryptography (PQC) We introduce the pros and cons of these protocols and explore how they can be combined to achieve a higher level of security and/or improved performance in key distribution. We hope our discussion inspires further research into the design of hybrid cryptographic protocols for quantum-classical communication networks.

  Continuous-variable quantum key distribution (QKD) employs the quadratures of a bosonic mode to establish a secret key between two remote parties. We consider a protocol with homodyne detection in the general setting of composable finite-size security. In particular, we analyze the high signal-to-noise regime which requires the use of high-rate (non-binary) low-density parity check codes.
