Abstract
Quantum revivals are now a well-known phenomena within nonrelativistic quantum theory. In this
Letter we display the effects of relativity on revivals and quantum carpets. It is generally believed that
revivals do not occur within a relativistic regime. Here we show that while this is generally true, it is
possible, in principle, to set up wave packets with specific mathematical properties that do exhibit exact
revivals within a fully relativistic theory.
