Great way to head into the weekend: a @golp-ist.bsky.social seminar by Lucas Iñigo @linigoga.bsky.social on quantum Monte Carlo simulations for Strong Field QED — fascinating stuff. Followed, of course, by coffee at Sr. Zé ☕ #SFQED #AcademicLife @istecnico.bsky.social #IPFN

In Science Advances, @pablojbilbao.com , @thales-silva.bsky.social , and @luisoliveiraesilva.bsky.social show that radiatively cooled relativistic plasmas can spontaneously emit coherent, polarized radiation via the maser instability. 🔗 epp.ist.utl.pt?p=1530682 @istecnico.bsky.social

We show that circularly polarized lasers create plasmas with long-lasting ring-shaped weakly relativistic momentum distributions which, in the presence of an ambient magnetic field, are prone to the e...

We have also submitted a preprint on applying Quantum variational algorithms to Strong Field QED. We demonstrate that we can use VarQITE to evolve the Fokker-Planck equation to simulate Quantum Radiation Reaction. arxiv.org/abs/2411.175...

Today's an exciting day! We have submitted two papers to ArXiV, one of which is my positron acceleration work using Direct Laser Acceleration. Here, we use methods to improve positron creation and retention and a semi-analytical model to predict laser depletion. arxiv.org/abs/2411.174...
