We study the emergent dynamics of quantum self-sustained oscillators induced by the simultaneous presence of attraction and repulsion in the coupling path. We consider quantum Stuart-Landau oscillators under attractive-repulsive coupling and construct the corresponding quantum master equation in the Lindblad form. We discover an interesting symmetry-breaking transition from quantum limit cycle oscillation to a quantum inhomogeneous steady state.

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.

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.

View Article and Find Full Text PDFRestoration 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.

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.

The observed transition is the oscillatory analog of the Turing-type symmetry-breaking transition from amplitude death (i.e.
