Description
Using the methods of quantum trajectories we study numerically the phenomenon of quantum synchronization in a quantum dissipative system with periodic driving. Our results show that at small values of Planck constant $\hbar$ the classical devil's staircase remains robust with respect to quantum fluctuations while at large $\hbar$ values synchronization plateaus are destroyed. Quantum synchronization in our model has close similarities with Shapiro steps in Josephson junctions and it can be also realized in experiments with cold atoms.
