Abstract

Quantum dots are one of the paradigmatic solid-state systems for quantum engineering, providing an outstanding tunability to explore fundamental quantum phenomena. Here we show that non-Hermitian many-body topological modes can be realized in a quantum dot chain by utilizing a gate-tunable modulation of dissipation, and they emerge purely because of the non-Hermiticity. By exactly solving the non-Hermitian interacting description both with exact diagonalization and tensor networks, we demonstrate that these topological modes are robust even in the presence strong interactions, leading to a strongly correlated topological many-particle state. Our results put forward quantum dot arrays as a platform for engineering non-Hermitian many-body topological modes, and highlight the resilience of non-Hermitian topology to electronic interactions.
