Description

Abstract: Photon-photon scattering is an elusive and yet extremely important process, which offers a unique glimpse into the vacuum of quantum electrodynamics. Here I discuss the experimental opportunities of a direct observation of this process, and their relevance to our understanding of quantum vacuum.
