Abstract

We propose tunnel junctions of a Hall bar and a superconducting lead for observing Cooper-pair tunneling into singlet fractional quantum Hall edge states. These tunnel junctions provide a natural means of extracting precise information of the spin polarization and the filling factor of the state. The low energy regime of one of the setups is governed by a novel quantum entangled fixed point.
