A beamsplitter is a widely used optical element to create continuous variable entanglement. In the case of Gaussian states, the input modes need to exhibit squeezing for this purpose. We experimentally demonstrate the creation of entanglement by mixing two modes, which do not possess the required squeezing themselves [1]. This is possible if the modes are correlated to a third mode, which can be separable. The three mode states we are utilizing are the prerequisite of the distribution of entanglement [2,3] and the sharing of entanglement [4] by means of a separable mode. The creation of entanglement using a seemingly unsuitable two mode state highlights the role of global correlations.
