• Abstract: A critical set of two-loop QED corrections to the $g$ factor of hydrogenlike ions is calculated without expansion in the nuclear binding field. These corrections are due to the polarization of the external magnetic field by the quantum vacuum, which is dressed by the binding field. The result obtained for the self-energy--magnetic-loop diagrams is compared with the current state-of-the-art result, derived through a perturbative expansion in the binding strength parameter $Z\alpha$, with $Z$ the atomic number and $\alpha$ the fine-structure constant. Agreement is found in the $Z\rightarrow0$ limit. However, even for very light ions, the perturbative result fails to approximate the magnitude of the corresponding correction to the $g$ factor. The total correction to the $g$ factor coming from all diagrams considered in this work is found to be highly relevant for upcoming experimental tests of fundamental physics with highly charged ions.

  A quantum simulation of magnetism in trapped-ion systems makes use of the crystal vibrations to mediate pairwise interactions between spins. These interactions can be accounted for by a long-wavelength relativistic theory, where the phonons are described by a coarse-grained Klein-Gordon field. We show that thermal effects, which can be controlled by laser cooling, can unveil this flow through the appearance of thermal masses in interacting QFTs.

  Conical intersections are crossing points or lines between two or more adiabatic electronic potential energy surfaces. We predict significant or measurable non-adiabatic effects in an ultracold atom-ion charge-exchange reaction. In the laser frequency window, where conical interactions are present, the difference in rate coefficients can be as large as $10-9$ cm$3$/s.
