Band-limited functions can oscillate locally at an arbitrarily fast rate through an interference phenomenon known as superoscillations. Using an optical pulse with a superoscillatory envelope we experimentally break the temporal…

This book chapter gives a selective review of physical implementations and applications of superoscillations and associated phenomena. We introduce the field by reviewing simple examples of superoscillations and showing how their existence…

We construct a signal from "almost" pure oscillations within some low frequency band. We construct it to produce a superoscillation with frequency above the nominal band limit. We find that indeed the required high frequency is produced but…

A remarkable phenomenon of superoscillations implies that electromagnetic waves can locally oscillate in space or time faster than the fastest spatial and temporal Fourier component of the entire function. This phenomenon allows to focus…

We give a general strategy to construct superoscillating/growing functions using an orthogonal polynomial expansion of a bandlimited function. The degree of superoscillation/growth is controlled by an anomalous expectation value of a…

We further develop the concept of supergrowth [Jordan, Quantum Stud.: Math. Found. $\textbf{7}$, 285-292 (2020)], a phenomenon complementary to superoscillation, defined as the local amplitude growth rate of a function being higher than its…

Superoscillating signals are band--limited signals that oscillate in some region faster their largest Fourier component. While such signals have many scientific and technological applications, their actual use is hampered by the fact that…

We present a general method of constructing maximally localized Wannier functions. It consists of three steps: (1) picking a localized trial wave function, (2) performing a full band projection, and (3) orthonormalizing with the Lowdin…

Supergrowth refers to the local amplitude growth rate of a signal being faster than its fastest Fourier mode. In contrast, superoscillation pertains to the variation of the phase. Compared to the latter, supergrowth can have exponentially…

This paper studies highly oscillatory solutions to a class of systems of semilinear hyperbolic equations with a small parameter, in a setting that includes Klein--Gordon equations and the Maxwell--Lorentz system. The interest here is in…

We show that an optimized projection functions method can automatically construct maximally localized Wannier functions even for bands with nontrivial topology. We demonstrate this method on a tight-binding model of a two-dimensional…
