  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.
