  We investigate the time evolution of Gaussian wave packet (GWP) in the
tight-binding chain with uniform nearest neighbor (NN) hopping integral.
Analytical analysis and numerical simulations show that the fractional revival
of the quantum state occurs in such system, i.e., at appropriate time, a GWP
can evolve into many copies of the initial state at different positions. The
application of this quantum phenomenon to the scheme of quantum information
transfer in solid-state system is discussed.
