This article proposes a TF QKD protocol with partial phase postselection, which maintains the advantage of high key rate while improving performance. Numerical simulations confirm the potential advantages of this protocol in terms of key rate and achievable distance.
Quantum key distribution (QKD) allows two remote parties to share information-theoretically secure keys. In recent years, a revolutionary breakthrough called twin-field (TF) QKD has been developed to overcome the linear key-rate constraint and greatly increases the achievable distance. Phase randomization and subsequent postselection play roles in its security proof. Later, no-phase-postselection TF QKD was proposed and became a popular variant, since the removal of phase postselection leads to a higher key rate. However, the achievable distance is decreased compared to the original one. Here, we propose a TF QKD protocol with partial phase postselection. Namely, its code mode is still free from global phase randomization and postselection to make sure the advantage of the high key rate remain. On the other hand, phase postselection is introduced in the decoy mode to improve the performance. Applying an operator dominance condition, we prove universal security of the proposed protocol in the finite-key case under coherent attacks, and numerical simulations confirm its potential advantages in terms of key rate and achievable distance.
