Two-nucleon interferometry can be used in low- and intermediate-energy heavy ion reactions to probe the space-time evolution of hot and possibly compressed nuclear systems. At low energy, angle-gated correlation functions have allowed to succesfully extract the lifetime of moderately excited compound nuclei. At intermediate energy, two-neutron interferometry has been used to obtain information on the contribution of different mechanisms to the reaction dynamics.
