We show that a system is uniformly accelerated if and only if all of the clocks in the system can be synchronized to each other, and the clocks will remain synchronized as long as the acceleration remains uniform. In particular, it is…

Two oscillators coupled to a two-level system which in turn is coupled to an infinite number of oscillators (reservoir) are considered, bringing to light the occurrence of synchronization. A detailed analysis clarifies the physical…

The ``Pulse Synchronization'' problem can be loosely described as targeting to invoke a recurring distributed event as simultaneously as possible at the different nodes and with a frequency that is as regular as possible. This target…
