• Abstract: As quantum key distribution (QKD) emerges as a robust defense against quantum computer threats, significant advancements have been realized by researchers. A pivotal focus has been the development of protocols that not only simplify hardware implementation like the use of continuous-variable (CV) systems, but also negate the necessity for trusted nodes, as seen with the measurement-device independent (MDI) approach. This paper delves into the integration of these methodologies in the CV-MDI-QKD protocol, offering an in-depth exploration of its evolution, primary characteristics, and the latest advancements in both theory and experiment.

  We propose a high-rate scheme for discretely-modulated continuous-variable quantum key distribution (DM CVQKD) using quantum machine learning technologies. A low-complexity quantum k-nearest neighbor (QkNN) is designed for predicting the lossy discretely-modulated coherent states (DMCSs) at Bob's side. Numerical simulation shows that the secret key rate of our proposed scheme is explicitly superior to the existing DM CVQKD protocols.
