contents In this paper, we propose a quantum code division multiple access (q-CDMA) based continuous-variable quantum key distribution (CV-QKD) system. In the proposed system, the quantum states of two senders ($\text{Alice}_{1,2}$) are chaotically encoded through chaotic phase shifters and then transmitted over a quantum channel. At the receiver, the quantum states are decoded via chaos synchronization to separate the quantum states sent by the different senders and received by the two receivers ($\text{Bob}_{1,2}$) separately. We characterize the input-output relation of the quadrature between the two senders and receivers and then analyze the secret key rate (SKR) of the q-CDMA-based CV-QKD system. Our numerical results reveal that the q-CDMA approach can significantly enhance the SKR for both users when compared to the single-user case without the q-CDMA approach.
