Optimized-Eight-State CV-QKD Protocol Outperforming Gaussian Modulation Based Protocols

In this paper, an optimized-eight-state CV-QKD protocol is proposed significantly outperforming previously introduced discrete modulation (DM) protocols as well as the corresponding Gaussian modulation (GM)-based CV-QKD protocols for practical reconciliation efficiencies values in terms of both secr...
