Popis: We propose a tangible experimental scheme for demonstrating quantum entanglement between swift electrons and light, relying on coherent cathodoluminescence for photon generation in a transmission electron microscope, and a quantum eraser setup for formation and verification of entanglement. The entanglement of free electrons with light is key to developing free-electron quantum optics and its potential applications such as quantum sensing, novel photonic and electron state generation, and entanglement between free electrons.
