Abstract: We study the small scale distribution of the $L^2$ mass of eigenfunctions of the Laplacian on the flat torus $mathbb{T}^d$. Given an orthonormal basis of eigenfunctions, we show the existence of a density one subsequence whose $L^2$ mass equidistributes at small scales. In dimension two our result holds all the way down to the Planck scale. For dimensions $d=3,4$ we can restrict to individual eigenspaces and show small scale equidistribution in that context. We also study irregularities of quantum equidistribution: We construct eigenfunctions whose $L^2$ mass does not equidistribute at all scales above the Planck scale. Additionally, in dimension $d=4$ we show the existence of eigenfunctions for which the proportion of $L^2$ mass in small balls blows up at certain scales.
