Abstract

The fractal nature of quantum paths contributing to Feynman path integral formulation of quantum mechanics is investigated. A computer simulation of both one- and two-dimensional quantum harmonic oscillators yields results in agreement with rigorous results on the Hausdorff-Besicovitch dimension for Brownian motion.
