摘要：
We study the impact of the imperfections and the finite-size effect on the continuous-variable quantum key distribution (CVQKD) protocol with the nondeterministic noiseless linear amplifier (NLA). The imperfections of the homodyne detector and the imperfect amplification process as well as the finite-size effect on parameter estimation procedure are considered. We can see that despite the imperfections of the homodyne detector, the maximum improved transmission distance can still reach the equivalence of 20log10g dB losses theoretically. Moreover, the analysis shows the imperfect amplification process of the NLA will slightly decrease the performance of the system. And we find the finite-size effect significantly influence the secret key rates of the NLA CVQKD protocol and the performance will approach the ideal asymptotic case with the increase of block size.
