contents Quantum fluctuations of a quantum Rabi triangle are studied using an analytical approach beyond the mean-field theory. By applying an artificial magnetic field among three cavities, time-reversal symmetry breaking is manifested through a directional transfer dynamics of photons. In contrast to previous studies, we focus on the scaling exponents of the fluctuations of the local photon number and the position variance near the critical point. By accurate calculation using Bogoliubov transformation we show that two scaling laws emerge respectively for the frustrated cavity and the remaining cavities, which are associated with the geometric frustrations. Especially, for the frustrated cavity, the scaling exponent in the chiral superradiant phase is different from that in the frustrated antiferromagnetic superradiant phase without an artificial magnetic field. The unusual scaling exponents predict distinct universality classes from the single-cavity Rabi universality. We suggest that the accurate critical exponents in few-body system is useful for identifying exotic quantum phase transition in light-matter coupling system.
