Recently, several hybrid approaches to quantum information emerged which utilize both continuous- and discrete-variable methods and resources at the same time. In this work, we investigate the bipartite hybrid entanglement between a finite-dimensional, discrete-variable quantum system and an infinite-dimensional, continuous-variable quantum system. A classification scheme is presented leading to a distinction between pure hybrid entangled states, mixed hybrid entangled states (those effectively supported by an overall finite-dimensional Hilbert space), and so-called truly hybrid entangled states (those which cannot be described in an overall finite-dimensional Hilbert space). Examples for states of each regime are given and entanglement witnessing as well as quantification are discussed. In particular, using the channel map of a thermal photon noise channel, we find that true hybrid entanglement naturally occurs in physically important settings. Finally, extensions from bipartite to multipartite hybrid entanglement are considered.
