Abstract

In local local oscillator (LLO)-based continuous-
variable quantum key distribution (CV-QKD), a difference between
the linewidth values of two free-running lasers at Alice and Bob
induces a phase drift noise. This work proposes a novel minimax
filter-based phase tracking that aims to minimize the phase drift
considering maximum residual phase error to achieve optimal
phase estimation. Simulation results show that the minimax filter
offers a lower phase estimation mean square error (MSE) value
compared to the Kalman filter when worst-case phase drift error
due to high linewidth difference or high measurement noise values
are considered.
