• Abstract: Schwinger pair production in some of space-dependent electromagnetic fields is studied analytically by using worldline instantons formalism for scalar quantum electrodynamics. With the increase of the modified Keldysh parameter $\gamma_{keb}$, the pair production rate decreases, the region of instanton paths expands regardless of the electromagnetic field form. We also find that all of the paths of the instantons for various electromagnetic fields are exactly in the same plane while with the different elliptical shapes. Moreover, the magnitudes of the normalized instantons action with different external electromagnetic fields are all bounded within the region from $\pi$ to $2\pi$ in spatial inhomogeneity fields. We further analytically identify and obtain two kinds of the pair-production time associated to the worldline instantons action.

  We find that the degeneracy of Landau levels, which arises in the case of the constant magnetic field, lifts out when the field is variable. Also the varying magnetic field splits Landau levels of electrons with zero angular momentum from positive angular momentum, unlike the constant field which only can split the levels between positive and negative angular momenta.
