• Abstract summary: We consider a trimer chain of electron shuttles with symmetry protected midgap states under the influence of driving and dissipation. We observe synchronized motion at the ends of the chain, which can be explained using a linear stability analysis. Our results open a new avenue to enhance the robustness of synchronized motion by exploiting topology.

• Abstract: The interplay of synchronization and topological band structures with symmetry protected midgap states under the influence of driving and dissipation is largely unexplored. Here we consider a trimer chain of electron shuttles, each consisting of a harmonic oscillator coupled to a quantum dot positioned between two electronic leads. Each shuttle is subject to thermal dissipation and undergoes a bifurcation towards self-oscillation with a stable limit cycle if driven by a bias voltage between the leads. By mechanically coupling the oscillators together, we observe synchronized motion at the ends of the chain, which can be explained using a linear stability analysis. Due to the inversion symmetry of the trimer chain, these synchronized states are topologically protected against local disorder. Furthermore, with current experimental feasibility, the synchronized motion can be observed by measuring the dot occupation of each shuttle. Our results open a new avenue to enhance the robustness of synchronized motion by exploiting topology.

• Quantum synchronization in one-dimensional topological systems [4.680781132156346]
  Synchronization in quantum systems can be induced through applying dissipation on the central sites. Two types of synchronization, stemming from the topological edge states, are characterized by the off-diagonal or diagonal correlations between the boundary sites. Remarkably, the synchronous oscillations maintain steady amplitude and frequency in the thermodynamic limit.

  Two non-identical quantum emitters, when placed within a cavity and coherently excited at the two-photon resonance, can reach stationary states of nearly maximal entanglement. We show that this mechanism is merely one among a complex family of phenomena that can generate both stationary and metastable entanglement when driving the emitters at the two-photon resonance.

We show that the considered systems exhibit a high-order synchronization through coupling in both classical and quantum domains. We propose a possible experimental realization for the considered system in trapped ion and optomechanical setting.

  We report on the switching dynamics of both single and coupled VO2-based oscillators, with resistive and capacitive coupling, and explore the capability of their application in neural networks. For the resistive coupling, it is shown that synchronization takes place at a certain value of the coupling resistance, though it is unstable and a synchronization failure occurs periodically. For the capacitive coupling, two synchronization modes, with weak and strong coupling, are found. The transition between these modes is accompanied by chaotic oscillations.
