We construct a large class of superoscillating sequences, more generally of F-supershifts, where F is a family of smooth functions in (t, x) (resp. distributions in (t, x), or hyperfunctions in x depending on the parameter t) indexed by λ ∈ R. The frame in which we introduce such families is that of the evolution through Schrödinger equation (i∂/∂t−H (x))(ψ) = 0 (H (x) = −(∂2/∂x2)/2+V (x)), V being a suitable potential). If F = {(t, x) → ϕλ(t, x) ; λ ∈ R}, where ϕλ is evolved from the initial datum x → eiλx , F-supershifts will be of …

Superoscillating functions and supershifts appear naturally in weak measurements in physics. Their evolution as initial conditions in the time-dependent Schrödinger equation is an important and challenging problem in quantum mechanics and mathematical analysis. The concept that encodes the persistence of superoscillations during the evolution is the (more general) supershift property of the solution. In this paper, we give a unified approach to determine the supershift property for the solution of the time-dependent one-dimensional Schrödinger equation. The main advantage and novelty of our results is that they only require suitable estimates and regularity assumptions on the Green’s function, but not its …
