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…
A single electromagnetic plane-wave propagating in free space possesses neither spin nor orbital angular momentum. Both types of angular momentum arise from interference between pairs of plane-waves having the same temporal frequency…
We derive exact expressions, in the form of Fourier integrals over the (k,w) domain, for the energy, momentum, and angular momentum of a light pulse propagating in free space. The angular momentum is seen to split naturally into two parts.…
In a coherent monoenergetic beam of non-interacting particles, the phase velocity and the particle transport velocity are functions of position, with the strongest variation being in the focal region. These velocities are everywhere…
The scattering of electromagnetic pulses is described using a non-singular boundary integral method to solve directly for the field components in the frequency domain, and Fourier transform is then used to obtain the complete space-time…

An optical pulse asymptotically reaching zero group velocity in tapered waveguides can ultimately stop at a certain position in the taper accompanied by a strong spatial compression. This phenomenon can be also observed in spatio-temporal…
Physical phenomena caused by particle's moving faster than light in a space with multifractal time with dimension close to integer ($d_{t}=1+\epsilon(r(t),t), |\epsilon| \ll 1$ - time is almost homogeneous and almost isotropic) are…
A quantum field has been coupled to a space-time with accelerating expansion. Dynamical modes are destabilised successively at shorter material wavelengths as they metamorphose from oscillators to repellers. Due to degeneracy of energy…
The spatio-temporal dynamics of the deformation of a vibrated plate is measured by a high speed Fourier transform profilometry technique. The space-time Fourier spectrum is analyzed. It displays a behavior consistent with the premises of…
First the "frame problem" is sketched: the motion of an isolated particle obeys a simple law in galilean frames, but how does the galilean character of the frame manifest itself at the place of the particle? A description of vacuum as a…
We discuss neutrino oscillations in the framework of the quantum field theory without introducing the concept of neutrino weak eigenstates. The external particles are described by wave packets and the different mass eigenstate neutrinos…
Neutrino oscillations is a phenomenon which is characterized by a finite oscillation time (length). For such phenomena time-energy uncertainty relation is valid. This means that energy uncertainty is needed for oscillations to occur. We…
A renewed experimental interest in quantum vacuum fluctuations brings back the need to extend the study of electromagnetic vacuum correlations. Quantum or semi-classical models developed to understand various configurations should combine…
A plane monochromatic wave will not appear monochromatic to a noninertial observer. We show that this feature leads to a `thermal' ambience in an accelerated frame {\it even in classical field theory}. When a real, monochromatic, mode of a…
A light bullet is an extremely compressed in space and time wave packet of a few optical cycles, which is formed in the bulk transparent dielectric during femtosecond filamentation under anomalous group velocity dispersion. The effect of a…
Traveling wave charges lying on the insulating walls of an electrolyte-filled capillary, give rise to oscillatory modes which vanish when averaged over the period of oscillation. They also give rise to a \emph{zero mode} (a unidirectional,…

A localized charged particle oscillating near a reflecting boundary is considered as a model for non-cancellation of vacuum fluctuations. Although the mean velocity of the particle is sinusoidal, the velocity variance produced by vacuum…
