Abstract

We survey a new application of the Weil representation to construct a canonical basis of eigenvectors for the discrete Fourier transform (DFT). The transition matrix from the standard basis to the canonical basis defines a novel transform which we call the discrete oscillator transform (DOT for short). In addition, we describe a fast algorithm for computing the DOT in certain cases.
