Until very recently, two-photon interaction processes have been considered only as arising from second- or higher-order effects in driven systems, and so limited to extremely small coupling strengths. However, a variety of novel physical…

We discuss duality in ``two-photon''-like processes in the scalar $\varphi^3_E$ model and also in the process $\gamma^*\gamma\to\pi\pi$ in QCD. Duality implies the equivalence between two distinct nonperturbative mechanisms. These two…
