Symmetry breaking--the phenomenon in which the symmetry of a system is not inherited by its stable states--underlies pattern formation, superconductivity, and numerous other effects. Recent theoretical work has established the possibility…
Synchronization manifests itself in oscillators adjusting their frequencies and phases with respect to an external signal or another oscillator. In the quantum case, new features appear such as destructive interferences that can result in…

Nonlinear oscillators can mutually synchronize when they are driven by common external impulses. Two important scenarios are (i) synchronization resulting from phase locking of each oscillator to regular periodic impulses and (ii)…
