Abstract

We analyze the unidimensional (UD) continuous-variable quantum key distribution protocol in a finite size scenario under realistic conditions. The dependence of the secret key rate on realistic parameters is analyzed numerically. A method of calculating the optimal ratio to divide the data samples in order to achieve the largest secret key rate is proposed. When the data samples are large, the superiority of the UD protocol in data processing becomes apparent. It is expected that the features and methods presented in this paper will aid in the exploration of the latent capacity of the UD protocol as well as the development of further applications.
