Abstract
Information reconciliation is a critical process of any Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) protocol, where two legitimate parties agree on a secret key. Two parties attempt to eliminate the discrepancies between their correlated keys in the presence of an adversary, while revealing a minimum amount of information. In this paper, we propose a reconciliation protocol using polar codes with a soft-output decoder. We demonstrate that our method is better than a conventional protocol using polar codes in the view of reconciliation efficiency.
