Fractal Wave Functions

Fractal wave functions are defined as quantum wave functions extended with self-similar structures. This approach aims to explain the probability distributions of particles using fractal motifs instead of classical Gaussian or sine functions.

Key Concepts

• Fractal Gaussian function: Extending the wave function via Cantor-type or Koch-type fractal modulation.
• Fractal Fourier transform: Analyzing wave functions through their self-similar frequency components.
• Fractal dimension effect: The amplitude and probability density of the wave function are scaled by the fractal dimension.
• Fractal entropy: Calculating the information content of the wave function using fractal logarithms.

Mathematical Formulation

Fractal-modulated wave function

𝜓_fr (𝑥) = 𝜓₀ (𝑥) ⋅ 𝑓(𝑥)^𝐷_𝑓

Where:

• 𝜓₀ (𝑥) : classical wave function
• 𝑓(𝑥) : fractal modulation function
• 𝐷_𝑓 : fractal dimension

Cantor-Gaussian example
