Side-Information Coding with Turbo Codes and its Application to Quantum Key Distribution

Turbo coding is a powerful class of error correcting codes, which can achieve performances close to the Shannon limit. The turbo principle can be applied to the problem of side-information source coding, and we investigate here its application to the reconciliation problem occuring in a continuous-variable quantum key distribution protocol.
