Description
In this talk, we will discuss the phenomenon of electron-positron pair production in strong electromagnetic fields and first- and second-order radiative processes. Main focus will be placed on the recent theoretical developments concerning a nonperturbative description of the above effects. We will briefly discuss modern theoretical approaches in quantum electrodynamics with unstable vacuum, as well as some novel results obtained in specific setups. Experimental prospects concerning strong-field QED will also be addressed.
