This preprint develops a mathematical framework connecting the space-time geometry of Schrödinger wave packets with time-averaged quantum localization probabilities. It introduces a dimensionless multiscale concentration coefficient designed to quantify tube clustering across scales and derives a geometric-to-quantum localization inequality separating geometric concentration, mean occupancy, incoherent packet energy, and controlled wave-packet tails.

The framework is calibrated using a classical Córdoba-type estimate for a restricted direction-uniform tube family, providing a sharp benchmark within that model. The paper also discusses an application to freely propagating Gaussian matter-wave packets and finite-detector occupancy.

This is a preprint version submitted for consideration for publication in Reports on Mathematical Physics.

You can write a PREreview of Quantum Localization Bounds from Schrödinger Wave-Packet Geometry: A Multiscale Kakeya-Inspired Framework. A PREreview is a review of a preprint and can vary from a few sentences to a lengthy report, similar to a journal-organized peer-review report.
