Entanglement is a quantum mechanical phenomenon playing a key role in quantum communication and information processing protocols. Here, we report on frequency-degenerate entanglement between continuous-variable quantum microwaves propagating along two separated paths. In our experiment, we combine a squeezed and a vacuum state via a beam splitter. We reconstruct the squeezed state and, independently from this, detect and quantify the produced entanglement via correlation measurements[1]. Our work paves the way towards quantum communication and teleportation with continuous variables in the microwave regime.
