The quantum scar state in a chaotic optical microcavity embedded in a photonic crystal can be engineered employing the “cavity-momentum locking” phenomenon. It is discovered that when the chaotic cavities are periodically arranged, the new degree of freedom, the “Bloch Crystalline momentum,” brings about the emerging transmutation of the quantum scar states. This allows us to devise novel control schemes of light integrating the intra-cavity chaos and the crystalline momentum of the cavity array.
