Composable finite-size effects in free-space continuous-variable quantum-key-distribution systems

Free-space channels provide the possibility of establishing continuous-variable quantum key distribution in global communication networks. However, fluctuating nature transmissivity these introduces an extra noise which reduces achievable secret rate. We consider two classical postprocessing strategies, postselection high-transmissivity data and clusterization, to reduce fluctuation-induced channel. undertake investigation such strategies utilizing a composable security proof realistic finite-size regime against both collective individual attacks. also present efficient parameter estimation approach estimate effective Gaussian parameters over postselected or clustered data. Although effects become more significant with clusterization reducing size data, our results show that are still able enhance rate attacks remarkable improvement attacks, even moving protocol from insecure secure under certain conditions.
