Abstract
Exceptional points (EPs) are spectral singularities, but whether they can be used to control a distinct criticality of coherent interference remains largely unexplored. Here we show in nonlocal superconducting transport how spectral and interference criticalities can be controllably synchronized. In a minimal superconducting double-quantum-dot system, loss imbalance selectively drives one Bogoliubov sector through an EP. The spectral EP and the CAR-ECT interference criticality form distinct structures in control space whose relative ordering can be continuously tuned. At their synchronization point, the interference boundaries between crossed Andreev reflection (CAR) and elastic cotunneling (ECT) coalesce at the EP and bifurcate beyond it, creating a finite CAR-dominated window. The resulting interference window opens with a square-root critical law, whose exponent also governs the finite-temperature observability scale. Detuning unfolds the two criticalities, while retuning restores their intersection, establishing the synchronization as controlled rather than generic. The bifurcation is directly observable in nonlocal conductance. Our results establish exceptional points as spectral control points for independently defined interference criticalities, opening a route to non-Hermitian control of critical quantum interference.
