Vacuum Energy in Expanding Spacetime and Superoscillation - Induced Resonance

This thesis is divided into two parts. The first part is a study of the general problem of vacuum energy or so-called `zero point fluctuations' of a quantum field on expanding spacetimes and the interplay between the dilution of energy as a mode expands and the generation of energy as new mode...
