Abstract
We show the successful use of a heralded noiseless linear amplifier on the detection stage in the twoway continuousvariable quantum key distribution to improve the performance Due to the excess noise the secretkey rate of the twoway protocol becomes negative for a certain distance of transmission The use of a heralded noiseless linear amplifier increases this distance by the equivalent of 20 log10 g dB of losses and it also helps the twoway protocol tolerate more excess noiseThis work is supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China Grant Nos 61475099 61102053 61379153 Program of State Key Laboratory of Quantum Optics and Quantum Optics Devices NoKF201405 the Scientific Research Foundation for the Returned Overseas Scholars State Education Ministry SMC Excellent Young Faculty program SJTU 2011 ChunTsung Program of SJTU and PRP Grant No T03023051
