Quantum Manifestation of the Classical Bifurcation in the Driven Dissipative Bose-Hubbard Dimer.

We analyze the classical and quantum dynamics of the driven dissipative Bose-Hubbard dimer. Under variation of the driving frequency, the classical system is shown to exhibit a bifurcation to the limit cycle, where its steady-state solution corresponds to periodic oscillation with the frequency unrelated to the driving frequency. This bifurcation is shown to lead to a peculiarity in the single-particle density matrix of the quantum system.
