The aim of this paper is to study a class of superoscillatory functions in several variables, removing some restrictions on the functions that we introduced in a previous paper. Since the tools that we used with our approach are not common knowledge we will give detailed proof for the case of two variables. The results proved for superoscillatory functions in several variables can be further extended to supershifts in several variables.

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 …

In the past 50 years, quantum physicists have discovered, and experimentally demonstrated, a phenomenon which they termed superoscillations. Aharonov and his collaborators showed that superoscillations naturally arise when dealing with weak values, a notion that provides a fundamentally different way to regard measurements in quantum physics. From a mathematical point of view, superoscillating functions are a superposition of small Fourier components with a bounded Fourier spectrum, which result, when appropriately summed, in a shift that can be arbitrarily large, and well outside the spectrum. Purpose of this work is twofold: on one hand we provide a self-contained survey of the …
