Simulating vacuum birefringence with a diffractive beam propagation code
Aimé Matheron, Michal Šmíd, Matt Zepf +1
Ninety years after their prediction, quantum vacuum nonlinearities in macroscopic electromagnetic fields still await a direct experimental verification in the laboratory. A particu…
Back-reflection in dipole fields and beyond
Maksim Valialshchikov, Felix Karbstein, Daniel Seipt +1
Quantum reflection is a fascinating signature of the quantum vacuum that emerges from inhomogeneities in the electromagnetic fields. In pursuit of the prospective real-world implem…
Determination of few femtosecond to attosecond electron bunch durations using a passive plasma lens
Andreas Seidel, Carola Zepter, Alexander Sävert +2
Determining the pulse duration of femtosecond electron bunches is challenging and often experimentally invasive. An effective method for measuring the duration based on the time-de…
The Darkfield Approach to Measuring Vacuum Birefringence and Light-by-Light Couplings -- A Proof-of-Principle Experiment
Michal Smíd, Pooyan Khademi, Carsten Bähtz +29
Vacuum fluctuations give rise to effective nonlinear interactions between electromagnetic fields. These generically modify the characteristics of light traversing a strong-field re…
