Abstract
The time and probability parameters of the two-stage synchronization algorithm for the autocompensation quantum key distribution (QKD) systems and the analogous algorithm, implying the division of the time frame into time windows, are investigated. A comparative analysis of the parameters of synchronization algorithms is carried out and recommendations for their application for short and long fiber-optic communication lines are presented. The work also shows the methods of calculating the mean synchronization time of the QKD stations according to the above algorithms.
