Quantum analogs of Kolmogorov-Arnol'd-Moser tori and chaos in a periodically pulsed single-spin system are studied in the semiclassical regime. Wave functions (quasienergy states) are described in a spin-coherent state representation. Their projected binary-phase patterns are characterized in terms of the fractal dimensions of their perimeters.
