Continuous-variable quantum key distribution with qudits — •Ulrich Seyfarth and Gernot Alber — Institut für Angewandte Physik, Technische Universität Darmstadt, D-64289, Darmstadt

A qudit generalization of the recently discussed two-state continuous-variable quantum key distribution protocol of Heid and Lütkenhaus [1] is presented. Secret key rates are evaluated for cases in which an eavesdropper can extract information by beam splitting attacks. Resulting key generation rates for direct and reverse reconciliation are compared.
