    Abstract

    We revisit quantum ϕ-synchronization in a dissipatively coupled cavity-magnon system and formulate the calculation within one consistent system-bath model. A Hermitian photon-magnon interaction of strength g is supplemented by a common Markov channel Lc=2Γ(a−im). Interference between coherent and dissipative coupling produces the asymmetric rates λ1=g−Γ and λ2=g+Γ, while the same channel necessarily supplies correlated input noise. We derive the quantum Langevin equations from the input-output model and show explicitly that the reduced adjoint Lindblad map is not an operator-algebra homomorphism; canonical commutators are instead preserved by the full Langevin dynamics, including the input fields. For the linear Gaussian system, a quantum Itô product calculation gives the closed second-moment equation V̇=AV+VAT+D, with a nondiagonal diffusion matrix fixed by the common bath. This construction answers how the higher-order moments are obtained without raising a first-moment solution to a power. At resonance the drift spectrum has an exceptional point at ΓEP=g2−(κ−γ)2/4. For g/κ=2, γ/κ=0.1, a vacuum common bath, and a magnon-bath occupation nm=10, the fluctuation measure Sqϕ increases from 0.256 at Γ=0 to 0.672 at the exceptional point; the full measure, which also retains the mean-amplitude mismatch, increases from 0.243 to 0.632. A thermal-bath control shows that this improvement is caused by reservoir engineering rather than by spectral coalescence alone. The exceptional point is therefore an experimentally identifiable spectral marker of the strong-dissipation regime, not an independent source of noiseless topological enhancement.
