In future metropolitan quantum key distribution (QKD) networks, point-to-point free-space links will allow to secure the communication beyond the existing but inflexible fiber backbone. For this purpose, we investigate a continuous-variable QKD system using a discrete modulation pattern in the polarization degree of freedom. We present our results obtained in an experiment over an urban 300m free-space link between the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) and the Federal Office for Information Security (BSI) in Bonn.
