We study the asymptotic emergent dynamics of two models that can be thought of as extensions of the well known Schrödinger-Lohe model for quantum synchronization. More precisely, the interaction strength between different oscillators is determined by intrinsic parameters, following Cucker-Smale communication protocol. Unlike the original Schrödinger-Lohe system, where the interaction strength was assumed to be uniform, in the cases under our consideration the total mass of each quantum oscillator is allowed to vary in time. A striking consequence of this property is that these extended models yield configurations exhibiting phase, but not space, synchronization. The results are mainly based on the analysis of the ODE systems arising from the correlations, control over the well known Cucker-Smale dynamics, and the dynamics satisfied by the quantum order parameter.
