Abstract: The information reconciliation phase in quantum key distribution has significant impact on the range and throughput of any QKD system. We explore this stage for high-dimensional QKD implementations and introduce two novel methods for reconciliation. The methods are based on nonbinary LDPC codes and the Cascade algorithm, respectively, and achieve efficiencies close the Slepian-Wolf bound on q-ary symmetric channels.
