Abstract: Consider a compact Riemannian manifold with ergodic geodesic flow. Quantum ergodicity is generalized from orthonormal bases of eigenfunctions of the Laplacian to packets of eigenfunctions. It is shown that this more general result is sharp. Namely, there may exist exceptional packets of eigenfunctions which concentrate on a submanifold.
