Circadian clocks are biochemical oscillators that allow organisms to estimate the time of the day. These oscillators are inherently noisy due to the discrete nature of the reactants and the stochastic character of their interactions. To…

We report on the origin of synchronized bursting dynamics in various networks of neural spiking oscillators, when a certain threshold in coupling strength is exceeded. These ensembles synchronize at relatively low coupling strength and lose…
Oscillators coupled in a network can synchronize with each other to yield a coherent population rhythm. If multiple such networks are coupled together, the question arises whether these rhythms will synchronize. We investigate the impact of…

We characterize the synchronization of an array of coupled chaotic elements as a phase transition where order parameters related to the joint probability at two sites obey power laws versus the mutual coupling strength; the phase transition…

Improving the frequency precision by synchronizing a lattice of oscillators is studied in the phase reduction limit. For the most commonly studied case of purely dissipative phase coupling (the Kuramoto model) I confirm that the frequency…
A family of stochastic processes has quasi-cycle oscillations if the oscillations are sustained by noise. For such a family we define a Kuramoto-type coupling of both phase and amplitude processes. We find that synchronization, as measured…
Consider a distributed network on a finite simple graph $G=(V,E)$ with diameter $d$ and maximum degree $\Delta$, where each node has a phase oscillator revolving on $S^{1}=\mathbb{R}/\mathbb{Z}$ with unit speed. Pulse-coupling is a class of…
We discuss the behavior of the largest Lyapunov exponent $\lambda$ in the incoherent phase of large ensembles of heterogeneous, globally-coupled, phase oscillators. We show that the scaling with the system size $N$ depends on the details of…
Classical quasi-integrable systems are known to have Lyapunov times much shorter than their ergodicity time, but the situation for their quantum counterparts is less well understood. As a first example, we examine the quantum Lyapunov…
