A paradigm for quantum synchronization is the quantum analog of the Stuart--Landau oscillator, which corresponds to a van der Pol oscillator in the limit of weak (i.e. vanishingly small) nonlinearity. Due to this limitation, the quantum…
Recently, several studies have investigated synchronization in quantum-mechanical limit-cycle oscillators. However, the quantum nature of these systems remained partially hidden, since the dynamics of the oscillator's phase was overdamped…
Recently, the synchronization of coupled quantum oscillators has attracted a great deal of interest. Synchronization requires driven constituents, and in such systems, the coupling can be designed to be nonreciprocal. Nonreciprocally…
Van der Pol oscillators are prototypical self-sustaining oscillators which have been used to model nonlinear processes in biological and other classical processes. In this work, we investigate how quantum fluctuations affect phase-locking…

To observe synchronization in a large network of classical or quantum systems demands both excellent control of the interactions between the nodes and very accurate preparation of the initial conditions due to the involved nonlinearities…
We study the synchronization of a van der Pol self-oscillator with Kerr anharmonicity to an external drive. We demonstrate that the anharmonic, discrete energy spectrum of the quantum oscillator leads to multiple resonances in both phase…
The paper revisits recently revealed regimes of the "nonconventional synchronization" in systems of coupled bi-stable Van der Pol oscillators. These regimes are characterized by periodic (or quasiperiodic) almost complete energy exchanges…
Quantum van der Pol oscillators are driven-dissipative systems displaying quantum synchronization phenomena. When forced by a squeezed drive, the frequency adjusts to half of the forcing displaying multiple preferred phases. Here we analyze…
We analyse the properties of the synchronisation transition in a many-body system consisting of quantum van der Pol oscillators with all-to-all coupling using a self-consistent mean-field method. We find that the synchronised state, which…
