We provide a pedagogical review article on fundamentals and applications of the quantum
dynamics in strong electromagnetic fields in QED and QCD. The fundamentals include the …

The advent of ultraintense laser pulses generated by the technique of chirped pulse
amplification (CPA) along with the development of high-fluence laser materials has opened …

Strong-field effects in laboratory and astrophysical plasmas and high intensity laser and
cavity systems are considered, related to quantum electrodynamical (QED) photon-photon …

There has recently been growing evidence for the existence of neutron stars possessing
magnetic fields with strengths that exceed the quantum critical field strength of 4.4× 10 13 G …

This book is devoted to an investigation of the vacuum of quantum elec trodynamics (QED),
relying on the perturbative effective action approach. If the vacuum is probed with external …

Recent advances in laser technology have pushed the frontier of maximum intensity
achieved to about 1022W/cm2 and investigators currently believe even higher intensities …

Report on progress in physics: observation of the Breit–Wheeler process and vacuum
birefringence in heavy-ion collisions - IOPscience Skip to content IOP Science home …

In this report we show that a vacuum is a nonlinear optical medium and discuss what the
optical phenomena are that should exist in the framework of the standard model of particle …

Among the incredibly diverse variety of astrophysical objects, there are some that are
characterized by very extreme physical conditions not encountered anywhere else in the …

We construct atmosphere models for strongly magnetized neutron stars with surface fields
and effective temperatures. The atmospheres directly determine the characteristics of …
