  Synchronization phenomena have been recently reported in the quantum realm at
atomic level due to collective dissipation. In this work we propose a dimer
lattice of trapped atoms realizing a dissipative spin model where quantum
synchronization occurs instead in presence of local dissipation. Atoms
synchronization is enabled by the inhomogeneity of staggered local losses in
the lattice and is favored by an increase of spins detuning. A comprehensive
approach to quantum synchronization based on different measures considered in
the literature allows to identify the main features of different
synchronization regimes.
