Abstract
It has been found that non-Gaussian operations can be applied to increase and distill entanglement between Gaussian entangled states. We propose here a method to improve the performance of entanglement-based (EB) continuous-variable quantum-key-distribution protocol by using the non-Gaussian operation, in particular, the subtraction operation, which can be implemented under current technology easily. Security analysis shows that the subtraction operation can well increase the secure distance and tolerable excess noise of the EB scheme and also the corresponding prepare-and-measure scheme.
