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…
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…
Limitations of the paraxial beam model in the study of quantum vacuum signals
Felix Karbstein, Fabian Schütze
Studies of nonlinear quantum vacuum signals often model the driving laser fields as paraxial beams. This in particular holds for analytic approaches. While this allows for reliable…
