    "abstract": "We consider a driven damped anharmonic oscillator which classically leads to\na bistable steady state and to hysteresis. The quantum counterpart for this\nsystem has an exact analytical solution in the steady state which does not\ndisplay any bistability or hysteresis. We use quantum state diffusion theory to\ndescribe this system and to provide a new perspective on the lack of hysteresis\nin the quantum regime so as to study in detail the quantum to classical\ntransition. The analysis is also relevant to measurements of a single\nperiodically driven electron in a Penning trap where hysteresis has been\nobserved.",
