Network synchronization in phase oscillators faces a hidden geometric barrier inside network loops, a new Communications ...

Scientists at RIKEN have proposed a new way to make quantum systems synchronize in only one direction—like a one-way street for sound particles known as phonons. The breakthrough combines two quantum ...

Synchronization—the spontaneous adjustment of rhythms among interacting units—has long been studied in classical physics, from fireflies flashing in unison to coupled pendulums. In the quantum regime, ...

Network synchronization researchers at Universitat Rovira i Virgili show that ordinary pairwise networks generate ...

The dynamics of a collection of coupled neurons resemble that of vortices in a commonly studied two-dimensional lattice model, a finding that could help in understanding brain function and dysfunction ...
