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…

Cluster synchronization in synthetic networks of coupled chaotic oscillators is investigated. It is found that despite the asymmetric nature of the network structure, a subset of the oscillators can be synchronized as a cluster while the…
Quantum sensors and qubits are usually two-level systems (TLS), the quantum analogs of classical bits which assume binary values '0' or '1'. They are useful to the extent to which they can persist in quantum superpositions of '0' and '1' in…
