»Superoscillations - Theoretical Aspects and Applications Symposium III

View of Grand Hotel San MicheleSymposium Information

Superoscillations were identified independently by Sir Michael Berry and Yakir Aharonov in very different contexts, but in the last several years the communities of mathematicians and physicists have taken increased interest in this phenomenon, both because of its interesting mathematical characteristics, and because of its many potential applications. This symposium is intended not only to present the state of the art on (theoretical and applied) research on superoscillations, but also to look at the future of this field.

The symposium will open the morning of June 13th. The symposium will end the evening of the 16th.

Conference proceedings will be published in Quantum Studies: Mathematics and Foundations.

Venue & Hotel Accommodations

Exterior of Grand Hotel San Michele

The symposium will be held at the Grand Hotel San Michele in Cetraro (CS), Italy.

The best way to get to Cetraro from the United States is by airplane to Rome, and then, either:

  • Rent a car and drive south for 6 hours.
  • Take the train from Fiumicino Airport (Rome Airport) to Stazione Termini, and then take the train to Paola.
  • Take a plane from Rome Airport to Lametia Terme Airport (code SUF).
