Popis: In this paper we introduce a reconciliation protocol with a two-step error correction scheme using a short blocklength low rate code and a long blocklength high rate code. We show that by using this two-step decoding method it is possible to achieve secret key rates beyond the Devetak-Winter bound. We simulate the protocol using short blocklength low-density parity check code, and show that we can obtain reconciliation efficiencies up to 1.5. Using these high reconciliation efficiencies, it is possible double the achievable distances of CV-QKD systems.
