In a standard interferometry experiment, one measures the phase difference between two paths by recombining the two wave packets on a beam-splitter. However, it has been recently recognized that the phase can also be estimated via local…

We formulate analytically the reflection of a one dimensional, expanding free wave-packet (wp) from an infinite barrier. Three types of wp's are considered, representing an electron, a molecule and a classical object. We derive a threshold…
We establish a broad notion of admissible tilings of frequency space which admit associated wave packet frames with elements which are smooth and compactly supported. The framework is designed to allow for tile geometries which are…

The quantum mechanical harmonic oscillator Hamiltonian generates a one-parameter unitary group W(\theta) in L^2(R) which rotates the time-frequency plane. In particular, W(\pi/2) is the Fourier transform. When W(\theta) is applied to any…

We prove a sharp bound for the remainder term of the number of lattice points inside a ball, when averaging over a compact set of (not necessarily unimodular) lattices, in dimensions two and three. We also prove that such a bound cannot…
We experimentally demonstrate how to solve the phase problem of diffraction using multi-wave interference with standard diffraction experimental setups without the need for taking any auxiliary data. In particular, we show that the phases…

We aim to address the following question: if we start with a quantum state with a spontaneously broken higher-form symmetry, what is the fate of the system under weak local quantum measurements? We demonstrate that under certain conditions,…
We examine the problem of the Fourier transform mapping one weighted Lebesgue space into another, by studying necessary conditions and sufficient conditions which expose an underlying geometry. In the necessary conditions, this geometry is…
We study the random sampling of the short-time Fourier transform of functions that are localized in a compact region in the time-frequency plane. We follow the approach introduced by Bass and Gr\"ochenig for band-limited functions, and show…
For $1<p\le 2$, we establish sharp inequalities for the Fourier transform of the characteristic function of the $l^p$-unit ball $B_p\subset\mathbb{R}^2$. We show that $$ \sup_{\boldsymbol{\omega} \in \mathbb{R}^2} \|\boldsymbol{\omega}…
We estimate the size of the spectral gap at zero for some Hermitian block matrices. Included are quasi-definite matrices, quasi-semidefinite matrices (the closure of the set of the quasi-definite matrices) and some related block matrices…
After reexamining the above barrier diffusion problem where we notice that the wave packet collision implies the existence of {\em multiple} reflected and transmitted wave packets, we analyze the way of obtaining phase times for…
