# gst: transient and steady-state chaos in dissipative quantum systems.

<< Dissipative quantum chaos plays a central role in the characterization and control of information scrambling, non-unitary evolution, and thermalization, but it still lacks a precise definition. >>

AA << properly restore the quantum-classical correspondence through a dynamical approach based on entanglement entropy and out-of-time-order correlators (OTOCs), which reveal signatures of chaos beyond spectral statistics. Focusing on the open anisotropic Dicke model, (They) identify two distinct regimes: transient chaos, marked by rapid early-time growth of entanglement and OTOCs followed by low saturation values, and steady-state chaos, characterized by high long-time values. >>

AA << introduce a random matrix toy model and show that Ginibre spectral statistics signals short-time chaos rather than steady-state chaos. (Their) results establish entanglement dynamics and OTOCs as reliable diagnostics of dissipative quantum chaos across different timescales. >>

<< Hello! Today: new research is shining a light on how our brains flit between states of stability and chaos, depending on what we’re doing. >>

<< Our brains exist in a state somewhere between stability and chaos as they help us make sense of the world, according to recordings of brain activity taken from volunteers over the course of a week. >>

<< As we go from reading a book to chatting with a friend, for example, our brains shift from one semi-stable state to another—but only after chaotically zipping through multiple other states in a pattern that looks completely random. >>

<< Understanding how our brains restore some degree of stability after chaos could help us work out how to treat disorders at either end of this spectrum. Too much chaos is probably what happens when a person has a seizure, whereas too much stability might leave a person comatose. >>

# gst: nonreciprocity induced spatiotemporal chaos: reactive vs dissipative routes.

<< ️Nonreciprocal interactions fundamentally alter the collective dynamics of nonlinear oscillator networks. Here (AA) investigate Stuart-Landau oscillators on a ring with nonreciprocal reactive or dissipative couplings combined with Kerr-type or dissipative nonlinearities. >>

<< ️Through numerical simulations and linear analysis, (They) uncover two distinct and universal pathways by which enhanced nonreciprocity drives spatiotemporal chaos. Nonreciprocal reactive coupling with Kerr-type nonlinearity amplifies instabilities through growth-rate variations, while nonreciprocal dissipative coupling with Kerr-type nonlinearity broadens eigenfrequency distributions and destroys coherence, which, upon nonlinear saturation, evolve into fully developed chaos. In contrast, dissipative nonlinearities universally suppress chaos, enforcing bounded periodic states. >>

<< ️(AA) findings establish a minimal yet general framework that goes beyond case-specific models and demonstrate that nonreciprocity provides a universal organizing principle for the onset and control of spatiotemporal chaos in oscillator networks and related complex systems. >>

# gst: energy transport and chaos in a one-dimensional disordered nonlinear stub lattice

<< ️(AA) investigate energy propagation in a one-dimensional stub lattice in the presence of both disorder and nonlinearity. In the periodic case, the stub lattice hosts two dispersive bands separated by a flat band; however, (They) show that sufficiently strong disorder fills all intermediate band gaps. By mapping the two-dimensional parameter space of disorder and nonlinearity, (AA) identify three distinct dynamical regimes (weak chaos, strong chaos, and self-trapping) through numerical simulations of initially localized wave packets. >>

<< ️When disorder is strong enough to close the frequency gaps, the results closely resemble those obtained in the one-dimensional disordered discrete nonlinear Schrödinger equation and Klein-Gordon lattice model. In particular, subdiffusive spreading is observed in both the weak and strong chaos regimes, with the second moment m_2 of the norm distribution scaling as m_2 ∝ t^0.33 and m_2 ∝ t^0.5, respectively. The system’s chaotic behavior follows a similar trend, with the finite-time maximum Lyapunov exponent Λ decaying as Λ ∝ t^−0.25 and Λ ∝ t^−0.3. For moderate disorder strengths, i.e., near the point of gap closing, (They) find that the presence of small frequency gaps does not exert any noticeable influence on the spreading behavior. >>

<< ️(AA) findings extend the characterization of nonlinear disordered lattices in both weak and strong chaos regimes to other network geometries, such as the stub lattice, which serves as a representative flat-band system. >>

However, (AA) discover that in the presence of chaos, non-trivial topology not only endures but also provides robust protection to chaotic dynamics within a topological lattice hosting non-linear oscillators. >>

<< Despite the difficulty in defining topological invariants in non-linear settings, non-trivial topological robustness still persists in the parametric state of chaotic boundary oscillations. (AA) demonstrate this interplay between chaos and topology by incorporating chaotic Chua's circuits into a topological Su-Schrieffer-Heeger (SSH) circuit. >>

<< By extrapolating from the linear limit to deep into the non-linear regime, (AA) find that distinctive correlations in the bulk and edge scroll dynamics effectively capture the topological origin of the protected chaos. (Their)  findings suggest that topologically protected chaos can be robustly achieved across a broad spectrum of periodically-driven systems, thereby offering new avenues for the design of resilient and adaptable non-linear networks. >>️

# gst: apropos of ab.normal criticalities, a hypothetical scenario of non-normal route to chaos.

<< ️Deterministic chaos is commonly associated with spectral criticality: exponential sensitivity is expected when Jacobian eigenvalues exceed unity in parts of the attractor, producing the local expansion that offsets contraction elsewhere. (AA) show that this paradigm is incomplete in dimensions d>1.  >>

<< ️(They) construct a bounded 3D dynamical system whose Jacobian is pointwise spectrally contracting, namely all instantaneous eigenvalues remain strictly inside the stability region, yet the system develops a positive maximal Lyapunov exponent and undergoes a transition to chaos as a non-normality index increases at fixed spectral radius. The mechanism relies on the repeated regeneration of transient non-normal amplification through endogenous switching that reinjects trajectories into amplifying non-orthogonal directions. >>

<< ️Although demonstrated here for a discrete-time map, the mechanism is geometric and applies more broadly to deterministic dynamical systems. These results show that chaos can emerge without spectral criticality and identify non-normality as an independent route to deterministic chaos. >>

# gst: a note on spinning billiards and chaos

AA << investigate the impact of internal degrees of freedom - specifically spin - on the classical dynamics of billiard systems. While traditional studies model billiards as point particles undergoing specular reflection, (AA) extend the paradigm by incorporating finite-size effects and angular momentum, introducing a dimensionless spin parameter that characterizes the moment of inertia. Using numerical simulations across circular, rectangular, stadium, and Sinai geometries, (AA) analyze the resulting trajectories and quantify chaos via the leading Lyapunov exponent. >>

<< Strikingly, (They) find that spin regularizes the dynamics even in geometries that are classically chaotic: for a wide range of α, the Lyapunov exponent vanishes at late times in the stadium and Sinai tables, signaling suppression of chaos. This effect is corroborated by phase space analysis showing non-exponential divergence of nearby trajectories. >>

AA << results suggest that internal structure can qualitatively alter the dynamical landscape of a system, potentially serving as a mechanism for chaos suppression in broader contexts. >>

# gst: a scenario in which System Theory meets Poetry, bird's-eye vistas into a primitive chaos

<< The notion of primitive chaos was proposed [J. Phys. Soc. Jpn. 79, 15002 (2010)] as a notion closely related to the fundamental problems of physics itself such as determinism, causality, free will, predictability, and irreversibility. In this letter, (AA) introduce the notion of bird's-eye view into the primitive chaos, and (they) find a new hierarchic structure of the primitive chaos. This means that if we find a chaos in a real phenomenon or a computer simulation, behind it, we can clearly realize the possibility of tremendous varieties of chaos in the hierarchic structure unless we can see them visually. >>

# gst: chaos and quantum tunneling.

<< ️In generic Hamiltonian systems that are neither completely integrable nor fully chaotic, phase space consists of a mixture of regular and chaotic components. In classical dynamics, transitions between different invariant sets in phase space are strictly forbidden, and these sets act as dynamical barriers to one another. In quantum mechanics, in contrast, wave effects allow transitions through such dynamical barriers. This process, known as dynamical tunneling, refers to penetration through dynamical barriers in phase space and was first recognized in the early 1980s. Since then, various aspects of dynamical tunneling have been elucidated, significantly advancing our understanding of such a novel quantum phenomenon. >>

<< ️In this article, (AA) provide an overview of several phenomenological perspectives of dynamical tunneling, including chaos-assisted and resonance-assisted tunneling, and also introduce approaches based on classical mechanics extended into the complex domain. In particular, (They) seek to clarify what is meant by the common claim that "chaos leads to an enhancement of the tunneling probability", which is often made when dynamical tunneling is dressed. (They) discuss what regime this refers to and, if such an enhancement occurs, what its likely origin is. >>

# gst: discontinuous transition to chaos in a canonical random neural network

AA << study a paradigmatic random recurrent neural network introduced by Sompolinsky, Crisanti, and Sommers (SCS). In the infinite size limit, this system exhibits a direct transition from a homogeneous rest state to chaotic behavior, with the Lyapunov exponent gradually increasing from zero. (AA)  generalize the SCS model considering odd saturating nonlinear transfer functions, beyond the usual choice 𝜙⁡(𝑥)=tanh⁡𝑥. A discontinuous transition to chaos occurs whenever the slope of 𝜙 at 0 is a local minimum [i.e., for 𝜙′′′⁢(0)>0]. Chaos appears out of the blue, by an attractor-repeller fold. Accordingly, the Lyapunov exponent stays away from zero at the birth of chaos. >>

By randomly sampling the isoenergetic volume to classify trajectories as oscillatory, rotational, or chaotic across the (µ,R) parameter plane, (They) obtain a global portrait of the coexistence and competition between dynamical regimes. >>

<< ️The chaotic fraction is not uniformly distributed across the parameter plane but concentrates in a well-defined central cloud whose ridge follows a linear relation in the (µ,R) plane and whose maximum does not exceed 70% of the available phase space. The order-chaos-order transition is not a global property of the parameter plane but occurs specifically in the central region surrounding this cloud: along paths that traverse it, oscillatory orbits progressively give way to chaotic trajectories, which in turn yield to rotational orbits as the energy grows, revealing a clear sequential mechanism underlying the transition. >> 

<< ️The onset of rotational motion is gradual rather than sharp, reflecting a strong dependence on initial conditions. By decomposing the total energy into spring-like, pendulum-like, and coupling contributions, (They) establish a direct correspondence between the coupling power and the abundance of chaotic trajectories, showing that enhanced inter-mode energy exchange is a reliable indicator of dynamical complexity. >>

# gst: spiral defect chaos with intermittency increases mean termination time

<< ️Cardiac models are examples of excitable systems and can support stable spiral waves. For certain parameter values, however, these spiral waves can become unstable, resulting in spiral defect chaos (SDC), characterized by the continuous creation and annihilation of spiral waves and thought to underlie atrial fibrillation. During SDC, the number of spiral waves fluctuates and drops to zero at termination. >>

<< ️In this work, (AA) demonstrate that varying a single parameter allows the system to transition from SDC to a single spiral wave, passing through an intermediate regime of intermittency. In such intermittent dynamics, intervals of SDC are sandwiched between non-SDC intervals during which the number of spiral waves remains small and constant. (They) quantify this intermittency and show that the mean termination time increases significantly as the control parameter approaches values for which a single spiral wave is stable. >>

However, (They) observe an intricate transition to chaotic dynamics dominated by Type (C) trajectories for sufficiently large χ and γ. A Poincaré map that summarizes trajectories decomposed into the geodesic segments interrupted by specular reflections provides a powerful method for visualizing the transition to chaos.
