The one-loop "vacuum" Heisenberg-Euler coupling of four electromagnetic fields can lead to interesting collective effects in the collision of two photon clouds, on a time scale orders of magnitude faster than one estimates from the cross-section and density. We estimate the characteristic time for macroscopic transformation of positive to negative helicity in clouds that are initially totally polarized and for depolarization of a polarized beam traversing an unpolarized cloud.

Quantum break in models of axion dark matter
A modified mean-field analysis predicts that axion dark matter can undergo a quantum break into photon pairs, with multi-mode synchronization counteracting red-shift detuning.
