Synchronization in quantum systems has been recently studied through persistent oscillations of local observables, which stem from undamped modes of the dissipative dynamics. However, the existence of such modes requires fine-tuning the…
We analyze various scenarios for entangling two initially unentangled qubits. In particular, we propose an optimal universal entangler which entangles a qubit in unknown state $|\Psi>$ with a qubit in a reference (known) state $|0>$. That…
It is well known that a system with two or more levels exists a limit cycle and can be synchronized with an external drive when the system and the drive are directly coupled. One might wonder if a system can synchronize with the external…
