Abstract

We study time-domain electron interferometry in a Hong-Ou-Mandel (HOM) geometry, where a thin superconductor between two quantum Hall systems acts as the beam splitter. By comparing the measurable current cross correlations at the interferometer outputs with those of a normal-conducting electronic HOM setup, we show that Andreev processes strongly affect the HOM dip. Using a combination of scattering theory and numerical tight-binding simulations for a graphene quantum Hall bar, we show that the change of charge cross correlations can be used to experimentally detect and characterize local and crossed Andreev processes.
