Recently Bourgain and Dyatlov proved a fractal uncertainty principle (FUP), which roughly speaking says a function in $L^2(\mathbb{R})$ and its Fourier transform can not be simultaneously localized in $\delta$-dimensional fractal sets, $0<\delta<1$. In this talk, I will discuss a joint work with Schlag, where we obtained a higher dimensional version of the FUP. Our method combines the original approach by Bourgain and Dyatlov, in the more quantitative rendition by Jin and Zhang, with Cantan set techniques.
