Abstract

It has been known that noise can suppress multistability by dynamically connecting coexisting attractors in the system which are otherwise in separate basins of attraction. The purpose of this mini-review is to argue that quasiperiodic driving can play a similar role in suppressing multistability. A concrete physical example is provided where quasiperiodic driving was demonstrated to eliminate multistability completely to generate robust chaos in a semiconductor superlattice system.
