Abstract
Generating non-locally entangled electron pairs via Cooper-pair splitting is vital for solid-state quantum information processing. However, isolating the underlying crossed Andreev reflection (CAR) is challenging due to competing transport processes like electron tunneling (ET) and local Andreev reflection (AR). Here, we propose a flux-tunable four-terminal normal metal-superconductor junction that achieves deterministic, 100% efficient CAR. We demonstrate that at exactly half a magnetic flux quantum $φ=π$, exact destructive Aharonov-Bohm and Peierls interferences structurally forbid ET and AR respectively. By tuning the central junction hopping, electron reflection is also suppressed to zero. Using the Cauchy argument principle, we prove that this suppression manifests as a quantized topological winding number, guaranteeing a topologically protected unit CAR probability. We establish that this regime is characterized by a strictly positive cross-correlation shot noise, providing an unambiguous experimental signature of Cooper-pair splitting. Furthermore, this perfect CAR is nearly broadband within the superconducting gap and remarkably robust against structural disorder, offering a highly resilient architecture for deterministic nonlocal entanglement generation.
