Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) Quantum key distribution is attracting attention because it enables secure establishment of random numbers between transmitters and receivers, because attackers' malicious attempts inevitably leave its traces. We have proposed a method of applying a polar code, which is a strong error-correcting code, to continuous-variable quantum key distribution to improve the efficiency of cryptographic key generation. However, the conventional methods use binary log-likelihood values in decoding, and thus there is room for improvement in error-correction performance. In this paper, we propose a soft-valued decoding method in which the received value obtained by homodyne detection is announced to the decoding side through a public communication channel. Numerical results show that the quantum bit error rate that can achieve error-free operation can be improved by 1% to 3% compared to the conventional polar code-based method.
