We prove that every Schwartz function in Euclidean space can be completely recovered given only its restrictions and the restrictions of its Fourier transform to all origin-centered spheres whose radii are square roots of integers. In particular, the only Schwartz function which, together with its Fourier transform, vanishes on these spheres, is the zero function. We show that this remains true if we replace the spheres by surfaces or discrete sets of points which are sufficiently small perturbations of these spheres. In a complementary, opposite direction, we construct infinite dimensional spaces of Fourier eigenfunctions vanishing on on certain discrete subsets of those spheres. The proofs combine harmonic analysis, the theory of modular forms and algebraic number theory.
