Note that in HgTe quantum wells, the states constituting the helical edge modes consist of a spin-orbit coupled superposition of the s and p orbitals and, thus, an admixure of both spins. With an appropriate choice of the spin-quantization axis in the superconductor, however, its spins up and down will tunnel into the respective helical modes. SCIEAS 0036-8075 10.1126/science.1148047
