Controlling chaos is a well-established technique that leverages the exponential sensitivity of classical chaotic systems for efficient control. This concept has been generalized to single-particle quantum systems [1] and, more recently, extended to bosonic many-body quantum systems described by the Bose-Hubbard model [2]. In direct analogy to the classical paradigm, a localized quantum state can be transported along a specific trajectory to a desired target state. In the latter context, this approach reduces to time-dependent control of the chemical potentials, making it suitable for implementation in optical lattice experiments. Highlighted potential applications are rapid, customizable state preparation and stabilization of quantum many-body scars in one-, two-, and three-dimensional lattices. Recent progress includes potential applications to large time-crystal platforms and preparation protocols for entangled states, such as cat-like states.
