  By coherently combining advantages while largely avoiding limitations of two
mainstream platforms, optical hybrid entanglement involving both discrete and
continuous variables has recently garnered widespread attention and emerged as
a promising idea for building heterogenous quantum networks. Different from
previous results, here we propose a new scheme to remotely generate hybrid
entanglement between discrete-polarization and continuous-quadrature optical
qubits heralded by two-photon Bell state measurement. As a novel nonclassical
light resource, we further utilize it to discuss two examples of ways --
entanglement swapping and quantum teloportation -- in which quantum information
processing and communications could make use of this hybrid technique.
