• Abstract: Entanglement is central to quantum theory, yet detecting it reliably in non-Gaussian systems remains a long-standing challenge. In continuous-variable platforms, inseparability tests based on Gaussian statistics - such as those of Duan and Simon - fail when quantum correlations are encoded in higher moments of the field quadratures. Here we introduce an inseparability criterion that exposes non-Gaussian entanglement that escapes covariance-based criteria by incorporating higher-order quadrature cumulants. The criterion extends Gaussian theory without requiring full state tomography and can be evaluated directly from homodyne and heterodyne data and is possible to extend to arbitrary superpositions of Fock states in two modes. This provides an experimentally viable approach for identifying non-Gaussian resources in continuous-variable platforms.
