Synchronization occurs ubiquitously in nature. The van der Pol oscillator has been a favorite model to investigate synchronization. Here we study the oscillator in the deep quantum regime, where nonclassical effects dominate the dynamics.…
We apply optimal control theory to determine the shortest time in which an energy eigenstate of a weakly anharmonic oscillator can be created under the practical constraint of linear driving. We show that the optimal pulses are beatings of…

We present a simpler proof of the existence of an exact number of one or more limit cycles to the Lienard system $\dot{x}=y-F(x) $, $\dot {y}=-g(xt)$, under weaker conditions on the odd functions $F(x) $ and $g(x) $ as compared to those…

We employ a quantum trajectory approach to characterize synchronization and phase-locking between open quantum systems in nonequilibrium steady states. We exemplify our proposal for the paradigmatic case of two quantum Van der Pol…
Quantum synchronization has been a subject of intensive research in the last decade. In this work, we propose a quantum Li\'enard system whose classical equivalent features two limit cycles to one of which the system will converge. In the…
Linear and nonlinear resonant states can be restrictive: they exist at particular discrete states in frequency and/or elasticity, under particular (e.g., simple-harmonic) waveforms. In forced oscillators, this restrictiveness is an obstacle…
We study the dynamics of a damped harmonic oscillator in the presence of a retarded potential with state-dependent time-delayed feedback. In the limit of small time-delays, we show that the oscillator is equivalent to a Li\'enard system.…
Transferring a physical system from an initial to a final state while minimizing energetic losses is an interdisciplinary control problem that bridges stochastic thermodynamics and optimal transport theory. Recent research typically…
Oscillator networks found in social and biological systems are characterized by the presence of wide ranges of coupling strengths and complex organization. Yet robustness and synchronization of oscillations are found to emerge on…
We study the dynamics of a mechanical oscillator with linear and cubic forces -the Duffing oscillator- subject to a feedback mechanism that allows the system to sustain autonomous periodic motion with well-defined amplitude and frequency.…
Li\'enard equations of the form $\ddot{x}+\epsilon f(x)\dot{x}+x=0$, with $f(x)$ an even function, are considered in the weakly nonlinear regime ($\epsilon\to 0$). A perturbative algorithm for obtaining the number, amplitude and shape of…
An optimal finite-time process drives a given initial distribution to a given final one in a given time at the lowest cost as quantified by total entropy production. We prove that for system with discrete states this optimal process…
We investigate the stability of the synchronization manifold in a ring and an open-ended chain of nearest neighbors coupled self-sustained systems, each self-sustained system consisting of multi-limit cycles van der Pol oscillators. Such…
Two non-harmonic canonical-dissipative limit cycle oscillators are considered that oscillate in one-dimensional Smorodinsky-Winternitz potentials. It is shown that the standard approach of the canonical-dissipative framework to introduce…
We introduce a prototype model for globally-coupled oscillators in which each element is given an oscillation frequency and a preferential oscillation direction (polarization), both randomly distributed. We found two collective transitions:…
We study collective behavior of locally-coupled limit-cycle oscillators with scattered intrinsic frequencies on $d$-dimensional lattices. A linear analysis shows that the system should be always desynchronized up to $d=4$. On the other…
We study the noise-induced escape from a stable limit cycle of a non-gradient dynamical system driven by a small additive noise. The fact that the optimal transition path in this case is infinitely long imposes a severe numerical challenge…
