QED and Lasers: A Tutorial: https://arxiv.org/abs/2203.01245
T. Heinzl
This is a write-up of a short tutorial talk on high-intensity QED, video-presented at the 2021 annual Christmas meeting of the Central Laser Facility at Rutherford-Appleton Lab, UK. The first half consists of a largely historical introduction to (quantum) electrodynamics focussing on a few key concepts. This well-established theory is then compared to its strong-field generalisation when a high-intensity laser is present. Some supplementary material and a fair amount of references have been added.
