论文摘要
在许多领域中，人群同步与通过公共中间体相互作用的不同和独立振荡器的同步相对应。在这里，我们通过诉诸于耦合激光器，在实验上证明了类似于千年桥的人群同步的影响。当激光数低于临界数时，就没有同步，但是在达到临界数后，激光立即同步。我们表明，激光器与数量的函数的同步遵循了一阶样过渡，并且我们的实验结果与理论模型预测的结果非常吻合。
Crowd synchrony, which corresponds to the synchronization of different and independent oscillators that interact with each other via a common intermediate, is ubiquitous in many fields. Here, we experimentally demonstrate the effect of crowd synchrony, analogous to that of the Millennium Bridge, by resorting to coupled lasers. When the number of lasers is below a critical number, there is no synchronization, but after reaching the critical number, the lasers instantaneously synchronize. We show that the synchronization of the lasers as a function of their number follows a first-order-like transition, and that our experimental results are in good agreement with those predicted by theoretical models.
