Surprisingly, differentiable functions are able to oscillate arbitrarily faster than their highest Fourier component would suggest. The phenomenon is called superoscillation. Recently, a practical method for calculating superoscillatory…
In the last decade there has been a growing interest in superoscillations in various fields of mathematics, physics and engineering. However, while in applications as optics the local oscillatory behaviour is the important property, some…
Superoscillations are band-limited functions that can oscillate faster than their fastest Fourier component. These functions (or sequences) appear in weak values in quantum mechanics and in many fields of science and technology such as…
It has been found that functions can oscillate locally much faster than their Fourier transform would suggest is possible - a phenomenon called superoscillation. Here, we consider the case of superoscillating wave functions in quantum…
A function f is said to possess superoscillations if, in a finite region, f oscillates faster than the shortest wavelength that occurs in the Fourier transform of f. I will discuss four aspects of superoscillations: 1. Superoscillations can…
Superoscillatory wave forms, i.e., waves that locally oscillate faster than their highest Fourier component, possess unusual properties that make them of great interest from quantum mechanics to signal processing. However, the more…
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…
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…
Arguments from scale physics, augmented by numerical and analytical investigations, are used to consider the probability and the detectability of superoscillations in generic functions. The detectability is defined as the fraction of the…

We present a formal definition of superoscillating function. We discuss the limitations of previously proposed definitions and illustrate that they do not cover the full gamut of superoscillatory behaviours. We demonstrate the suitability…
We introduce the one-dimensional PT-symmetric Schrodinger equation, with complex potentials in the form of the canonical superoscillatory and suboscillatory functions known in quantum mechanics and optics. While the suboscillatory-like…
Superoscillation is a counterintuitive phenomenon for its mathematical feature of ``faster-than-Fourier", which has allowed novel optical imaging beyond the diffraction limit. In this article, we introduce a superoscillating quantum control…
Superoscillating functions and supershifts appear naturally in weak measurements in physics. Their evolution as initial conditions in the time dependent Schr\"odinger equation is an important and challenging problem in quantum mechanics and…
Superoscillations, i.e., the phenomenon that a bandlimited function can temporary oscillate faster than its highest Fourier component, are being much discussed for their potential for `superresolution' beyond the diffraction limit. Here, we…
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…
