Abstract
We propose a general construction of wave functions of arbitrary prescribed fractal dimension, for a wide class of quantum problems, including the inf inite potential well, harmonic oscillator, linear potential, and free parti cle. The box-counting dimension of the probability density P-t(x) = [Psi (x , t)](2) is shown not to change during the time evolution. We prove a unive rsal relation D-t = 1 + D-x/2 linking the dimensions of space cross section s D-x and time cross sections D-t of the fractal quantum carpets.
