Abstract
The gapped symmetric phase of the Affleck-Kennedy-Lieb-Tasaki model exhibits fractionalized spins at the ends of an open chain. We show that breaking SU(2) symmetry and applying a global spin-lowering dissipator achieves synchronization of these fractionalized spins. Additional local dissipators ensure convergence to the ground state manifold. In order to understand which aspects of this synchronization are robust within the entire Haldane-gap phase, we reduce the biquadratic term, which eliminates the need for an external field but destabilizes synchronization. Within the ground state subspace, stability is regained using only the global lowering dissipator. These results demonstrate that fractionalized degrees of freedom can be synchronized in extended systems with a significant degree of robustness arising from topological protection. A direct consequence is that permutation symmetries are not required for the dynamics to be synchronized, representing a clear advantage of topological synchronization compared to synchronization induced by permutation symmetries.

Abstract
We theoretically describe macroscopic quantum synchronization effects occurring in a network of all-to-all coupled quantum limit-cycle oscillators. The coupling causes a transition to synchronization as indicated by the presence of global phase coherence. We demonstrate that the microscopic quantum properties of the oscillators qualitatively shape the synchronization behavior in a macroscopically large network. Specifically, they result in a blockade of collective synchronization that is not expected for classical oscillators. Additionally, the macroscopic ensemble shows emergent behavior not present at the level of two coupled quantum oscillators.

Abstract
Aging transition is an emergent behavior observed in networks consisting of active (self-oscillatory) and inactive (non-self-oscillatory) nodes, where the network transits from a global oscillatory state to an oscillation collapsed state when the fraction of inactive oscillators surpasses a critical value. However, the aging transition in quantum domain has not been studied yet. In this paper we investigate the quantum manifestation of aging transition in a network of active-inactive quantum oscillators. We show that, unlike classical case, the quantum aging is not characterized by a complete collapse of oscillation but by sufficient reduction in the mean boson number. We identify a critical "knee" value in the fraction of inactive oscillators around which quantum aging occurs in two different ways. Further, in stark contrast to the classical case, quantum aging transition depends upon the nonlinear damping parameter. We also explain the underlying processes leading to quantum aging that have no counterpart in the classical domain.

Abstract
Turing instability is a fundamental mechanism of nonequilibrium self-organization. However, despite the universality of its essential mechanism, Turing instability has thus far been investigated mostly in classical systems. In this study, we show that Turing instability can occur in a quantum dissipative system and analyze its quantum features such as entanglement and the effect of measurement. We propose a degenerate parametric oscillator with nonlinear damping in quantum optics as a quantum activator–inhibitor unit and demonstrate that a system of two such units can undergo Turing instability when diffusively coupled with each other. The Turing instability induces nonuniformity and entanglement between the two units and gives rise to a pair of nonuniform states that are mixed due to quantum noise. Further performing continuous measurement on the coupled system reveals the nonuniformity caused by the Turing instability. Our results extend the universality of the Turing mechanism to the quantum realm and may provide a novel perspective on the possibility of quantum nonequilibrium self-organization and its application in quantum technologies.

Abstract
We study the effect of Kerr anharmonicity on the symmetry-breaking phenomena of coupled quantum oscillators. Two types of symmetry-breaking processes are studied, namely, the inhomogeneous steady state (or quantum oscillation death state) and quantum chimera state. Remarkably, it is found that Kerr nonlinearity hinders the process of symmetry breaking in both the cases. We establish our results using direct simulation of the quantum master equation and analysis of the stochastic semiclassical model. Interestingly, in the case of quantum oscillation death, an increase in the strength of Kerr nonlinearity tends to favor the symmetry and at the same time decreases the degree of quantum mechanical entanglement. This paper presents a useful mean to control and engineer symmetry-breaking states for quantum technology.

Abstract
An important transition from a homogeneous steady state to an inhomogeneous steady state via the Turing bifurcation in coupled oscillators was reported recently [Phys. Rev. Lett. 111, 024103 (2013)PRLTAO0031-900710.1103/PhysRevLett.111.024103]. However, the same in the quantum domain is yet to be observed. In this paper, we discover the quantum analog of the Turing bifurcation in coupled quantum oscillators. We show that a homogeneous steady state is transformed into an inhomogeneous steady state through this bifurcation in coupled quantum van der Pol oscillators. We demonstrate our results by a direct simulation of the quantum master equation in the Lindblad form. We further support our observations through an analytical treatment of the noisy classical model. Our study explores the paradigmatic Turing bifurcation at the quantum-classical interface and opens up the door toward its broader understanding.

Abstract
In nonlinear dynamics, a parameter drift can lead to a sudden and complete cessation of the oscillations of the state variables-the phenomenon of amplitude death. The underlying bifurcation is one at which the system settles into a steady state from chaotic or regular oscillations. As the normal functioning of many physical, biological, and physiological systems hinges on oscillations, amplitude death is undesired. To predict amplitude death in advance of its occurrence based solely on oscillatory time series collected while the system still functions normally is a challenge problem. We exploit machine learning to meet this challenge. In particular, we develop the scheme of "parameter-aware" reservoir computing, where training is conducted for a small number of bifurcation parameter values in the oscillatory regime to enable prediction upon a parameter drift into the regime of amplitude death. We demonstrate successful prediction of amplitude death for three prototypical dynamical systems in which the transition to death is preceded by either chaotic or regular oscillations. Because of the completely data-driven nature of the prediction framework, potential applications to real-world systems can be anticipated.

Abstract
Restoration of oscillations from an oscillation suppressed state in coupled oscillators is an important topic of research and has been studied widely in recent years. However, the same in the quantum regime has not been explored yet. Recent works established that under certain coupling conditions, coupled quantum oscillators are susceptible to suppression of oscillations, such as amplitude death and oscillation death. In this paper, for the first time, we demonstrate that quantum oscillation suppression states can be revoked and rhythmogenesis can be established in coupled quantum oscillators by controlling a feedback parameter in the coupling path. However, in sharp contrast to the classical system, we show that in the deep quantum regime, the feedback parameter fails to revive oscillations, and rather results in a transition from a quantum amplitude death state to the recently discovered quantum oscillation death state. We use the formalism of an open quantum system and a phase space representation of quantum mechanics to establish our results. Therefore, our study establishes that the revival scheme proposed for classical systems does not always result in restoration of oscillations in quantum systems, but in the deep quantum regime, it may give counterintuitive behaviors that are of a pure quantum mechanical origin.

Abstract
Based on a system-reservoir model and an appropriate choice of nonlinear coupling, we have explored the microscopic quantum generalization of classical Liénard systems. Making use of oscillator coherent states and canonical thermal distributions of the associated c numbers, we have derived the quantum Langevin equation of the reduced system which admits single or multiple limit cycles. It has been shown that detailed balance in the form of the fluctuation-dissipation relation preserves the dynamical stability of the attractors even in the case of vacuum excitation. The quantum versions of Rayleigh, van der Pol, and several other variants of Liénard oscillators are derived as special cases in our theoretical scheme within a mean-field description.

Abstract
We study the quantum manifestations of homogeneous and inhomogeneous oscillation suppression states in coupled identical quantum oscillators. We consider quantum van der Pol oscillators coupled via weighted mean-field diffusive coupling and, using the formalism of open quantum systems, we show that, depending on the coupling and the density of mean-field, two types of quantum amplitude death occurs, namely, squeezed and nonsqueezed quantum amplitude death. Surprisingly, we find that the inhomogeneous oscillation suppression state (or the oscillation death state) does not occur in the quantum oscillators in the classical limit. However, in the deep quantum regime we discover an oscillation death-like state which is manifested in the phase space through the symmetry-breaking bifurcation of the Wigner function. Our results also hint toward the possibility of the transition from quantum amplitude death to oscillation death state through the "quantum" Turing-type bifurcation. We believe that the observation of quantum oscillation death state will deepen our knowledge of symmetry-breaking dynamics in the quantum domain.

Abstract
Frequency entrainment of continuous-variable oscillators has to date been restrained to the weakly nonlinear regime. Here we overcome this bottleneck and extend frequency entrainment of quantum continuous-variable oscillators to arbitrary nonlinearities. The previously known steady state of such quantum oscillators in the weakly nonlinear regime (also known as a Stuart-Landau oscillator) is shown to emerge as a special case. Most importantly, the hallmark of strong nonlinearity-relaxation oscillations-is shown in quantum mechanics. Depending on the oscillator's nonlinearity, relaxation oscillations are found to occur via two distinct mechanisms in phase space.

Abstract
Classical dynamical systems close to a critical point are known to act as efficient sensors due to a strongly nonlinear response. We explore such systems in the quantum regime by modeling a quantum version of a driven van der Pol oscillator. We find the classical response survives down to one excitation quantum. At very weak drives, genuine quantum features arise, including diverging and negative susceptibilities. Further, the linear response is greatly enhanced by using a strong incoherent pump. These results are largely generic and can be probed in current experimental platforms suited for quantum sensing.

Abstract
Coupling two or more self-oscillating systems may stabilize their zero-amplitude rest state, therefore quenching their oscillation. This phenomenon is termed "amplitude death." Well known and studied in classical self-oscillators, amplitude death was only recently investigated in quantum self-oscillators [Ishibashi and Kanamoto, Phys. Rev. E 96, 052210 (2017)2470-004510.1103/PhysRevE.96.052210]. Quantitative differences between the classical and quantum descriptions were found. Here, we demonstrate that for quantum self-oscillators with anharmonicity in their energy spectrum, multiple resonances in the mean phonon number can be observed. This is a result of the discrete energy spectrum of these oscillators, and is not present in the corresponding classical model. Experiments can be realized with current technology and would demonstrate these genuine quantum effects in the amplitude death phenomenon.
