Abstract

When applied to dynamical systems, both classical and quantum, time periodic modulations can produce complex non-equilibrium states which are often termed "chaotic." Being well understood within the unitary Hamiltonian framework, this phenomenon is less explored in open quantum systems. Here, we consider quantum chaotic states emerging in a leaky cavity when the intracavity photonic mode is coherently pumped with the pumping intensity varying periodically in time. We show that a single spin when placed inside the cavity and coupled to the mode can moderate transitions between regular and chaotic regimes-that are identified by using quantum Lyapunov exponents or features of photon emission statistics-and thus can be used to control the degree of chaos.
