• Abstract: Classical chaos arises from the inherent non-linearity of dynamical systems. However, quantum maps are linear; therefore, the definition of chaos is not straightforward. To address this, we study a quantum system that exhibits chaotic behavior in its classical limit: the kicked top model, whose classical dynamics are governed by Hamilton's equations on phase space, whereas its quantum dynamics are described by the Schr\"odinger equation in Hilbert space. We explore the critical degree of non-linearity signifying the onset of chaos in the kicked top by modifying the original Hamiltonian so that the non-linearity is parametrized by a quantity $p$. We find two distinct behaviors of the modified kicked top depending on the value of $p$. Chaos intensifies as $p$ varies within the range of $1\leq p \leq 2$, whereas it diminishes for $p > 2$, eventually transitioning to a purely regular oscillating system as $p$ tends to infinity. We also comment on the complicated phase space structure for non-chaotic dynamics. Our investigation sheds light on the relationship between non-linearity and chaos in classical systems, offering insights into their dynamic behavior.

  We consider an infinite-range interacting quantum spin-1/2 model, undergoing periodic kicking and dissipatively coupled with an environment. We find that the nonstabilizerness averaged over trajectories, mirrors the classical chaotic behavior, while the entanglement entropy has no relation with chaos in the thermodynamic limit.

• Probing quantum chaos with the entropy of decoherent histories [0.0]
  Quantum chaos, a phenomenon that began to be studied in the last century, still does not have a rigorous understanding. We propose the quantum chaos definition in the manner similar to the classical one using decoherent histories as a quantum analogue of trajectories. We show that for such a model, the production of entropy of decoherent histories is radically different in integrable and chaotic regimes.
