Gutzwiller's Trace Formula and Vacuum Pair Production

High Energy Physics - Theory 2008-11-26 v1

Abstract

We propose a new application of the Gutzwiller trace formula formalism, to give a compact expression for the semiclassical vacuum pair production rate in quantum electrodynamics, for general inhomogeneous electromagnetic background fields.
