Cover Story: The convergence of non-Hermitian physics, topological matter, and semiconductor engineering offers a compelling route toward resilient, low-power quantum technologies. By exploiting emergent phenomena such as the non-Hermitian skin effect—recently observed in semiconductor-based quantum Hall systems—the recent analysis of the state of the art argues that embedding topologically protected modes into scalable platforms can overcome longstanding limitations in disorder sensitivity, fabrication complexity, and energy inefficiency, ultimately enabling fault-tolerant quantum computation, reconfigurable logic, and ultrasensitive detection; this synthesis of quantum topology and semiconductor science redefines foundational device principles and charts a transformative direction for the future of electronic and photonic systems.
