abstract

The scheme of simultaneous multiple pulse focusing on one spot naturally arises from the structural features of projected new laser systems, such as ELI and HiPER. It is shown that the multiple pulse configuration is beneficial for observing $e^+e^-$ pair production from vacuum under the action of sufficiently strong electromagnetic fields. The field of the focused pulses is described using a realistic three-dimensional model based on an exact solution of the Maxwell equations. The $e^+e^-$ pair production threshold in terms of electromagnetic field energy can be substantially lowered if, instead of one or even two colliding pulses, multiple pulses focused on one spot are used. The multiple pulse interaction geometry gives rise to subwavelength field features in the focal region. These features result in the production of extremely short $e^+e^-$ bunches.

  1. Back-reflection in dipole fields and beyond

    quant-ph 2025-10 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Back-reflection in dipole fields is dominated by a four-wave-mixing channel; an optimized three-pulse planar setup gives ~1.5 discernible signal photons per shot with signal-to-background ~10^5.

  2. State of a particle pair produced by the Schwinger effect is not necessarily a maximally entangled Bell state

    hep-th 2019-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Schwinger pair spin correlations depend on the momentum direction: transverse momentum produces spin states that are not maximally entangled Bell states.
