  The Landau--Lifshitz--Gilbert equations for the evolution of the
magnetization, in presence of an external torque, can be cast in the form of
the Lorenz equations and, thus, can describe chaotic fluctuations. To study
quantum effects, we describe the magnetization by matrices, that take values in
a Lie algebra. The finite dimensionality of the representation encodes the
quantum fluctuations, while the non-linear nature of the equations can describe
chaotic fluctuations. We identify a criterion, for the appearance of such
non-linear terms. This depends on whether an invariant, symmetric tensor of the
algebra can vanish or not. This proposal is studied in detail for the
fundamental representation of
$\mathfrak{u}(2)=\mathfrak{u}(1)\times\mathfrak{su}(2)$. We find a knotted
structure for the attractor, a bimodal distribution for the largest Lyapunov
exponent and that the dynamics takes place within the Cartan subalgebra, that
does not contain only the identity matrix, thereby can describe the quantum
fluctuations.
