Click For Summary
Electrons and photons can indeed become entangled, as demonstrated in various experiments. This entanglement is fundamental to phenomena such as spontaneous emission. While some discussions suggest that all particles in the universe are entangled, not all of these interactions violate the CHSH inequality. The concept of entanglement extends beyond just electrons and photons, indicating a broader interconnectedness in quantum mechanics. Overall, the entanglement between different particle types is a well-established aspect of quantum theory.

For example, can an electron and a photon become entangled?

An electron and a photon can become entangled -- http://www.nature.com/news/quantum-spookiness-passes-toughest-test-yet-1.18255 (demonstrated in that experiment).

I've read many times that everything in the universe is entangled with everything else, although I suspect you won't have CHSH inequality violation with most of that entanglement.

Of course.

In fact an electron an photon being entangled is responsible for spontaneous emission.

Thanks
