Quantum synchronization in a network of dissipatively coupled oscillators — •Juan Nicolas Moreno, Christopher w. Wächtler, and Alexander Eisfeld — Max Planck Institute for the Physics of Complex Systems, Dresden, Germany
Synchronization in classical systems has a long history and by now is a very well understood phenomenon. However, the question whether the classical notions of synchronization can be extended to the quantum regime has only recently been addressed in investigations of classically inspired models like quantum Van der Pol oscillators as well as models without classical analog. Inspired by the theoretical prediction that two-level atoms are able to synchronize even without interacting directly [1], we investigate a network of dissipatively coupled quantum harmonic oscillators. Within a mean-field approximation we find that the network is able to synchronize. For the fully quantum system described in terms of a Lindblad master equation we analyze various measures that have been proposed in the literature. Additionally, we investigate the Liouvillian spectrum in order to draw connections between the spectrum and the synchronization measures.
