Comparison of wave-mixing processes in rarefied gas and QED vacuum using numerical simulations
Marianna Lytova, François Fillion-Gourdeau, Simon Vallières +3
We study the conditions required to distinguish laser-induced nonlinear quantum electrodynamics (QED) effects in vacuum from competing signals due to interactions of laser pulses w…
Numerical computation of dynamical Schwinger-like pair production in graphene
F. Fillion-Gourdeau, P. Blain, D. Gagnon +2
The density of electron-hole pairs produced in a graphene sample immersed in a homogeneous time-dependent electrical field is evaluated. Because low energy charge carriers in graph…
Driven quantum tunneling and pair creation with graphene Landau levels
Denis Gagnon, François Fillion-Gourdeau, Joey Dumont +2
Driven tunneling between graphene Landau levels is theoretically linked to the process of pair creation from vacuum, a prediction of quantum electrodynamics (QED). Landau levels ar…
Optimization of Schwinger pair production in colliding laser pulses
Florian Hebenstreit, François Fillion-Gourdeau
Recent studies of Schwinger pair production have demonstrated that the asymptotic particle spectrum is extremely sensitive to the applied field profile. We extend the idea of the d…
Landau-Zener-Stückelberg interferometry in pair production from counterpropagating lasers
François Fillion-Gourdeau, Emmanuel Lorin, André D. Bandrauk
The rate of electron-positron pair production in linearly polarized counter-propagating lasers is evaluated from a recently discovered solution of the time-dependent Dirac equation…
