Computational Advances Pave the Way for Quantum Vacuum Exploration

collider
A recent article in Communications Physics by a team of Oxford and GoLP details the development of a novel 3D semi-classical solver designed to simulate quantum vacuum effects. This is a critical step for the design and exploration of experiments that aim to access the quantum vacuum, resorting to the most recent intense laser systems now being developed worldwide. This work builds on and… Read more
