Exploring the QED vacuum with laser interferometers

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

It is demonstrated that the nonlinear, and as yet unobserved, QED effect of slowing down light by application of a strong magnetic field may be observable with large laser interferometers like for instance LIGO or GEO600.
