Quantum asymptotic phase reveals signatures of quantum synchronization
arXiv:2006.00760 · doi:10.1088/1367-2630/acb6e8
Abstract
Synchronization of quantum nonlinear oscillators has attracted much attention recently. To characterize the quantum oscillatory dynamics, we recently proposed a fully quantum-mechanical definition of the asymptotic phase, which is a key quantity in the synchronization analysis of classical nonlinear oscillators (Kato and Nakao 2022 Chaos 32 063133). In this work, we further extend this theory and introduce multiple asymptotic phases using the eigenoperators of the adjoint Liouville superoperator of the quantum nonlinear oscillator associated with different fundamental frequencies. We analyze a quantum van der Pol oscillator with Kerr effect in the strong quantum regime and show that the system has several different fundamental frequencies. By introducing order parameters and power spectra in terms of the associated quantum asymptotic phases, we reveal that phase locking of the system with a harmonic drive at several different frequencies, an explicit quantum signature observed only in the strong quantum regime, can be interpreted as synchronization on a torus rather than a simple limit cycle.
