On the problem of non-zero word error rates for fixed-rate error correction codes in continuous variable quantum key distribution

The maximum operational range of continuous variable quantum key distribution protocols has shown to be improved by employing high-efficiency forward error correction codes. Typically, the secret key rate model for such protocols is modified to account for the non-zero word error rate of such codes....
