Optimization of Hardware Architecture for Quantum Key Distribution
Abstract
The main objective of this paper is to acceler ate the post-processing of Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) using an energy-efficient pipelined architecture implemented on a Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA). The proposed architecture aims to improve processing speed while efficiently utilizing hardware resources. In addition, this work compares the proposed approach with existing approaches to demonstrate its performance and resource efficiency.
