Upcoming and planned experiments combining increasingly intense lasers and energetic
particle beams will access new regimes of nonlinear, relativistic, quantum effects. This …

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 …

We review common extensions of particle-in-cell (PIC) schemes which account for strong
field phenomena in laser-plasma interactions. After describing the physical processes of …

In the last years, a number of theoretical and numerical tools have been developed by a
thriving community formed by people coming from different backgrounds—condensed …

A bstract In the Swampland philosophy of constraining EFTs from black hole mechanics we
study charged black hole evaporation in de Sitter space. We establish how the black hole …

We study the dual production of helical Abelian gauge fields and chiral fermions through the
Chern-Simons (CS) coupling with a pseudo-scalar inflaton in the presence of a chiral …

The nonperturbative electron-positron pair production (Schwinger effect) is considered for
space-and time-dependent electric fields E→(x→, t). Based on the Dirac-Heisenberg-Wigner …

A bstract Particle production in strong electromagnetic fields is a recurring theme in solid
state physics, heavy ion collisions, early universe cosmology and formal quantum field …

We look over recent developments on our understanding about relativistic matter under
external electromagnetic fields and mechanical rotation. I review various calculational …

We consider Schwinger pair production in 1+ 1 dimensional de Sitter space, filled with a
constant electric field E. This can be thought of as a model for describing false vacuum …
