The exploration of complex-valued chaos offers a viable pathway not only for practical applications like image encryption but also holds significant potential for simulating wave phenomena and quantum inspired process. To bridge this with nonlinear circuit elements, we introduce a novel complex-valued chaotic system by embedding a discrete memristor into a complex Gaussian map. The memristor, a component with inherent physical memory, is uniquely driven by the modulus of the complex state variable, which is a key physical quantity often associated with energy or amplitude in wave systems. This coupling induces complex nonlinear dynamics, which are physically characterized through Lyapunov exponents and bifurcation analysis, revealing an enhanced and more robust chaotic regime. The physical feasibility of this system is demonstrated by its successful hardware realization on an FPGA platform. To showcase its application potential, we leverage the system’s complex chaotic steams to engineer a dual-image encryption scheme, where the encryption process is interpreted as a physical diffusion and scrambling of information represented by a complex matrix. Our results verify that this approach not only yield a cryptosystem with high security but also provide a link between complex chaos and information security applications.
