Popis: Since pioneering works of Hanbury-Brown and Twiss, intensity-intensity correlations have been widely used in astronomical systems, for example to detect binary stars. They reveal statistics effects and two-particle interference, and offer a decoherence-free probe of the coherence properties of light sources. In the quantum Hall edge channels, the concept of quantum optics can transposed to electrons, and an analogous two-particle interferometry can be developed, in order to characterize single-electron states. We review in this article the recent experimental and theoretical progress on this topic.
