Superoscillations occur when a globally band-limited function locally oscillates faster than its highest Fourier coefficient. We generalize this effect to arbitrary quantum mechanical operators as a weak value, where the preselected state…

Fueter's theorem states, in modern terms, that the Laplacian maps slice-regular quaternionic functions into Fueter-regular functions with axial symmetry. This phenomenon is also present in the Clifford setting, where both slice-monogenic…
