quvac documentation¶
Welcome to quvac documentation!
Quvac (from quantum vacuum, pronounced as qu-ack 🐸) allows to calculate quantum vacuum signals produced during light-by-light scattering.
It uses the vacuum emission picture [1] to describe the corresponding transition amplitude and the linear Maxwell solver to propagate external fields. The original idea of such code was put forward in [2]. Here we provide our implementation.
