Over the last two decades, advances in fabrication have led to significant progress in creating patterned heterostructures that support either carriers, such as electrons or holes, with specific band structure or electromagnetic waves with…

We show that non-Hermitian engineering can play a positive role in quantum systems. This is in contrast to the widely accepted notion that optical losses are a foe that must be eliminated or, at least, minimized. We take advantage of the…
