Abstract
$F^\alpha$-calculus was recently presented for fractals. We show that the $F^\alpha$-derivative satisfies the chain rule and affirms that the dimension of a quantum mechanical path is two. $F^\alpha$-calculus allows us to extend quantum mechanics to fractal curves. To show the applicability of $F^\alpha$-calculus, we study the fractal model of a particle in a box. $F^\alpha$-calculus is suitable for describing the motion of particles with a fractal route through matter. In addition, we extend Landau's energy straggling method of charged particles to fractals.
