Due to the interaction of physics and astrophysics we are witnessing in these years a
splendid synthesis of theoretical, experimental and observational results originating from …

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 …

Continuum strong QCD is the application of models and continuum quantum field theory to
the study of phenomena in hadronic physics, which includes; eg, the spectrum of QCD …

The mechanisms which give rise to Hawking radiation are revealed by analyzing in detail
pair production in the presence of horizons. In preparation for the black hole problem, three …

We show that it is not possible to concentrate enough light to precipitate the formation of an
event horizon. We argue that the dissipative quantum effects coming from the self-interaction …

In this article, we review recent theoretical works on the Schwinger mechanism of particle
production in external electrical fields. Although the non-perturbative Schwinger mechanism …

We study the phase-space correlation function for the Dirac vacuum in the presence of
simple field configurations. Our formalism rests on the Wigner transform of the Dirac …

We investigate the mechanism of pair creation in scalar QED from spatially homogeneous
strong electric fields in 1+ 1 dimensions. Solution of the semiclassical field equations shows …

We study the nonequilibrium evolution of the expectation value of a scalar field in the broken
and unbroken symmetry cases. We find that the particles produced by parametric …

A quantum kinetic equation is derived for the description of pair production in a time-
dependent homogeneous electric field E (t). As a source term, the Schwinger mechanism for …
