Quantum synchronization on the IBM Q system
ORAL
Abstract
We report the first experimental demonstration of quantum synchronization. This is achieved by performing a digital simulation of a spin-1 limit-cycle oscillator on the quantum processors of the IBM Q system. Applying an external signal to the oscillator, we verify typical features of quantum synchronization and demonstrate an interference-based quantum synchronization blockade. Our results show that state-of-the-art noisy intermediate-scale quantum processors are powerful enough to implement realistic open quantum systems. Finally, we discuss limitations of current quantum hardware and define requirements necessary to investigate more complex problems.
