Abstract
We propose a general construction of wave functions of arbitrary prescribed fractal dimension, for a wide class of quantum problems, including the infinite potential well, harmonic oscillator, linear potential and free particle. The box-counting dimension of the probability density is shown not to change during the time evolution. We prove a universal relation linking the dimensions of space cross-sections and time cross-sections of the fractal quantum carpets.
