We solve for the dynamics of a pair of spins, coupled to each other and also to an environmental sea of oscillators. The environment mediates an indirect interaction between the spins, causing both mutual coherence effects and dissipation.…

When a medium composed of microscopic elements is subjected to a high intensity field, the individual behaviors of microscopic elements can become chaotic. In such cases it is important to consider the effects of this irregularity at…
We investigate an oscillator linearly coupled with a one-dimensional Ising system. The coupling gives rise to drastic changes both in the oscillator statics and dynamics. Firstly, there appears a second order phase transition, with the…
Most previous studies on coupled dynamical systems assume that all interactions between oscillators take place uniformly in time, but in reality, this does not necessarily reflect the usual scenario. The heterogeneity in the timings of such…
We consider two stable heteroclinic cycles rotating in opposite directions, coupled via diffusive terms. A complete synchronization in this system is impossible, and numerical exploration shows that chaos is abundant at low levels of…
