Crossed Andreev reflection (CAR) has been reported in a hybrid quantum Hall (QH)/Superconductor (SC) system [1]. Similar experiments would be of great interest for quantum anomalous Hall (QAH) systems. It has been predicted that if Cooper pairing is induced in a QAH insulator, the system turns into a stereotypical spinless chiral p-wave superconductor associated with chiral Majorana edge states. In the QAH/SC system superconductivity can be suppressed by applying a magnetic field while keeping the 1D chiral edge state intact. Here we report the observation of crossed Andreev reflection (CAR) across a narrow superconducting Nb electrode contacting the chiral edge state of a QAHI, evinced by a negative nonlocal voltage measured downstream from the grounded Nb electrode. By changing the Nb width, the characteristic length of the CAR process is identified to be about 100 nm, which is three times longer than the superconducting correlation length in Nb.
