Abstract
The role of superoscillations in the interferences that gave rise to superluminal effects was studied. The study involved the analysis of a toy model which allowed for a wave packet to traverse in zero time and negligible distortion, a distance arbitrary longer than the original size of the wave packet. It was found that the peak was reconstructed from the exponentially small tail of the wave function. The calculations of the dwell time and group-delay time for tunneling through n-δ-function barriers were also presented.
