Abstract Measurement-device-independent quantum key distribution (MDI-QKD) is proven to be immune to all the detector side channel attacks. With two symmetric quantum channels, the maximal transmission distance can be doubled when compared with the prepare-and-measure QKD. An interesting question is whether the transmission distance can be extended further. In this work, we consider the contributions of the two-way local operations and classical communications to the key generation rate and transmission distance of the MDI-QKD. Our numerical results show that the secure transmission distances are increased by about 12 km and 8 km when the 1 B and the 2 B steps are implemented, respectively.
