Abstract
Bound-state eigenfunctions for a (classically) nonintegrable two degrees of freedom Hamiltonian system are studied. Between the de Broglie wavelength and a localization length, the probability density has a statistically fractal structure in some eigenstates. This novel characterization of eigenstates is intrinsically basis-set and coordinate independent and might therefore provide an objective approach to the question of quantum-chaotic behaviour.
