Xiaxiang Lin, Xiang Peng, Hao Yan, Wei Jiang, Tian Liu, Hong Mei Guo · 2009
Post-processing is an important part of quantum key distribution (QKD) system. This paper discusses the motivation for designing a multi-thread QKD post processing software, its architecture, communication protocol specification, and synchronization issues. It is shown that efficiency is gained from multi-thread programming. Future work to improve the software is also discussed.
