• Abstract: Recently, the synchronization of coupled quantum oscillators has attracted a great deal of interest. Synchronization requires driven constituents, and in such systems, the coupling can be designed to be nonreciprocal. Nonreciprocally-coupled oscillators exhibit a rich variety of behavior including active traveling-wave type states. In this work, we study the interplay of three competing synchronization mechanisms in a setup of two nonreciprocally-coupled quantum van der Pol oscillators. One of the oscillators is driven externally which induces phase locking. A dissipative interaction leads to anti-phase locking, whereas a coherent interaction nurtures bistable phase locking and active states. We approximate the phase diagram of the quantum case by evaluating the synchronization measure of a perturbation expansion of the steady state. Furthermore, we study the phase diagrams of two and three oscillators in the mean-field limit and find highly nontrivial active states.

  We show that introducing the squeezing Hamiltonian in two coupled van der Pol oscillators enhances nonclassical effects, increases quantum correlations, and improves the robustness of synchronization dynamics. This was evidenced through the analysis of the Wigner function and power spectrum, showing significant improvements compared to systems without squeezing.

• 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.

We propose a possible experimental realization for the considered system in trapped ion and optomechanical setting.

  We investigate the phase diagram of hard-core bosons in a triangular ladder with next-to-nearest-neighbor interaction along each leg. For weak interactions, Abelian bosonization predicts a spin density wave and a fully gapless Luttinger liquid phase. The competition with the zigzag interaction generates a charge density wave, a 'polarized holonic' phase, and a crystalline phase at the filling 2/5.

  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.

• Switching dynamics of single and coupled VO2-based oscillators as elements of neural networks [55.41644538483948]
  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.
