In continuous-variable quantum key distribution systems, reconciliation is a crucial step that significantly affects the secret key rate (SKR). The rateless protocol based on Raptor codes can achieve high reconciliation efficiency at low signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs). However, the high complexity of low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes used for the precoding in Raptor codes limits the speed of reconciliation. In this paper, we propose an adaptive reconciliation protocol by modifying Raptor codes. The length of random binary sequences is increased because we remove the LDPC precoding that adds redundancy. The modified Raptor codes reduce the complexity of encoding with better performance. The proposed protocol gives a reconciliation efficiency higher than 98.1% in the SNR below −20 dB and maintains a certain SKR in long-distance transmission.
