In an intense laser field, an electron may decay by emitting a pair of photons. The two photons emitted during the process, which can be interpreted as a laser-dressed double Compton scattering, remain entangled in a quantifiable way:…
We consider the emission spectrum of high-energy electrons in an intense laser field. At high intensities ($a_0\sim200$) we find that the QED theory predicts a narrower angular spread of emissions than the classical theory. This is due to…
