Abstract
The dynamics of dissipative topological defects in a system of coupled phase oscillators, arranged in one and two-dimensional arrays, is numerically investigated using the Kuramoto model. After an initial rapid decay of the number of topological defects, due to vortex-anti-vortex annihilation, we identify a long-time (quasi) steady state where the number of defects is nearly constant. We find that the number of topological defects at long times is significantly smaller when the coupling between the oscillators is increased at a finite rate rather than suddenly turned on. Moreover, the number of topological defects scales with the coupling rate, analogous to the cooling rate in KibbleZurek mechanism (KZM). Similar to the KZM, the dynamics of topological defects is governed by two competing time scales: the dissipation rate and the coupling rate. Reducing the number of topological defects improves the long time coherence and order parameter of the system and enhances its probability to reach a global minimal loss state that can be mapped to the ground state of a classical XY spin Hamiltonian.
