• Abstract: Classical chaos is marked by an extreme sensitivity to initial conditions, where infinitesimally close trajectories separate exponentially over time. In quantum mechanics, however, unitary evolution and the uncertainty principle preclude such behavior, necessitating alternative approaches to identifying chaos in quantum systems. One must therefore seek quantum features that can indicate the emergence of chaos in the classical limit. Here, we show that contextuality, a quantum property that defies classical explanations, can serve as a signature of chaos. For a spin system undergoing chaotic dynamics, we demonstrate that violations of Bell-type inequality can effectively differentiate regular and chaotic regions of the phase space, suggesting that the nonclassicality of the system underpins signatures of chaos.

  It is widely believed that quantum mechanics cannot exhibit chaos, since unitarity of time evolution ensures that distances between quantum states are preserved.<n>A parallel argument can be constructed in classical mechanics that would seem to deny the existence of classical chaos too.

• 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.

• Steady-state quantum chaos in open quantum systems [0.0]
  We introduce the notion of steady-state quantum chaos as a general phenomenon in open quantum many-body systems. Chaos and integrability in the steady state of an open quantum system are instead uniquely determined by the spectral structure of the time evolution generator. We study steady-state chaos in the driven-dissipative Bose-Hubbard model, a paradigmatic example of out-of-equilibrium bosonic system without particle number conservation.

• Quantum signatures of chaos in a cavity-QED-based stimulated Raman adiabatic passage [0.0]
  A nonlinear stimulated Raman adiabatic passage (STIRAP) is a fascinating physical process that dynamically explores chaotic and non-chaotic phases. With the aim of extracting quantum signatures of a classically chaotic system, it is shown that an out-of-time-ordered correlator captures chaotic/non-chaotic features of the system. A dynamics through the chaotic phase is associated with spreading of many-body quantum state and an irreversible increase in the number of participating adiabatic eigenstates.

• Emergence of classical behavior in the early universe [68.8204255655161]
  Three notions are often assumed to be essentially equivalent, representing different facets of the same phenomenon. We analyze them in general Friedmann-Lemaitre- Robertson-Walker space-times through the lens of geometric structures on the classical phase space. The analysis shows that: (i) inflation does not play an essential role; classical behavior can emerge much more generally; (ii) the three notions are conceptually distinct; classicality can emerge in one sense but not in another.
