• Abstract: Berry conjecture is central to understanding quantum chaos in isolated systems and foundational for the eigenstate thermalization hypothesis. Here we establish an open-system analogy of the Berry conjecture, connecting quantum steady states to classical dissipative attractors in the semiclassical limit. We demonstrate that the Wigner distribution of quantum steady states delocalizes over classical chaotic attractors in the semiclassical limit. We validate this correspondence using a Floquet Kerr oscillator. In the chaotic phase, the quasi-steady state is dominated by the chaotic delocalization instead of the quantum fluctuations, resulting in entropy divergence in the semiclassical limit. This entropy divergence provides a robust chaos signature beyond non-Hermitian random matrix approaches. We further identify dissipative phase transitions via Liouvillian gap closures, revealing a discrete time crystal phase and its breakdown into chaos at strong driving. Our framework thus establishes a universal paradigm for quantum chaos in open systems.

• 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.

  Signatures of localization have been observed in condensed matter and cold atomic systems. We propose a model of one-dimensional chain of non-interacting, spinless fermions coupled to a local ensemble of baths. We show that the steady state of the system undergoes a localization entanglement phase transition by tuning $p$ which remains stable in the presence of coherent hopping.

We demonstrate that, in the Zeno regime of large dissipation, the relaxation of the quantum system towards a pure quantum state is linked to the evolution of a classical Markov process towards a single absorbing state.
