Single and coupled quantum van der Pol oscillators: Wigner-function dynamics, exact qutrit solutions, and synchronization

We study quantum van der Pol oscillator in which single-photon pumping competes with a nonlinear two-photon dissipative channel to produce a quantum limit cycle, and the question of how two such oscillators with non-identical intrinsic frequencies synchronize in the sense of phase locking when coupled dissipatively to...
