We consider a quantum nonlinear Kerr-like oscillator externally pumped by a series of ultrashort coherent pulses to analyze the quantum time-correlations appearing while the system evolves. For that purpose, we examine the violation of the Leggett–Garg inequality. We show how the character of such correlations changes when the system’s dynamics correspond to the regular and chaotic regions of its classical counterpart.
