In this hybrid quantum Hall-superconductor system, nonlocal crossed Andreev reflection can occur due to the distortion effect of the Maxwell equations, resulting in a gap in the spectrum of the edge states. Numerical calculations also reveal the existence of negative resistance and stable zero-energy local density of states, which may be related to the emergence of Majorana bound states.
We consider a hybrid quantum Hall-superconductor system, where a superconducting finger with oblique profile is wedged into a two-dimensional electron gas in the presence of a perpendicular magnetic field, as considered by Lee et al., Nat. Phys. 13, 693 (2017). The electron gas is in the quantum Hall regime at filling factor nu = 1. Due to the Meissner effect, the perpendicular magnetic field close to the quantum Hall-superconductor boundary is distorted and gives rise to an in-plane component of the magnetic field. This component enables nonlocal crossed Andreev reflection between the spin-polarized chiral edge states running on opposite sides of the superconducting finger, thus opening a gap in the spectrum of the edge states without the need of spin-orbit interaction or nontrivial magnetic textures. We compute numerically the transport properties of this setup and show that a negative resistance exists as a consequence of nonlocal Andreev processes. We also obtain numerically the zero-energy local density of states, which systematically shows peaks stable to disorder. The latter result is compatible with the emergence of Majorana bound states.
