Synchronization, the emergence of spontaneous order in coupled systems, is of fundamental importance in both physical and biological systems. We demonstrate the synchronization of two dissimilar silicon nitride micromechanical oscillators,…

It is often conjectured that quantum synchronisation and entanglement are two independent properties which two coupled quantum systems may not exhibit at the same time. However, as both these properties can be understood in terms of the…
