Abstract
We propose an anharmonic oscillator driven by two periodic forces of different frequencies as a time-dependent model for investigating quantum dissipative chaos. Our analysis is done in the framework of the statistical ensemble of quantum trajectories in a quantum state diffusion approach. The quantum dynamical manifestations of chaotic behavior, including the emergence of chaos, properties of strange attractors, and quantum entanglement, are studied by numerical simulation of the ensemble averaged Wigner function and von Neumann entropy.
