• Abstract: We study helicity correlations of electron-positron pairs created by a homogeneous time-dependent electric field in the Sauter-Schwinger scenario. Our analysis is based on solving the Dirac equation with the Feynman or anti-Feynman boundary conditions, which is equivalent to the scattering matrix approach widely used in high energy physics. Most importantly, both these methods allow to fully account for the helicity (or, more generally, spin) correlations of created particles. The influence of helicity correlations and the carrier-envelope phase of the electric pulse on the properties of topological structures (such as spirals and vortices) in momentum distributions of created particles is investigated. The generation of maximally entangled helicity states is discussed and the possibility of using a short electric pulse as a fast switch between them is indicated.

  We analytically derive the modified Langevin noise formalism from the established canonical quantization of the electromagnetic field in macroscopic media.

  We propose a novel type of a Bose-Hubbard ladder model to study the physics of dynamical gauge potentials. A steady-state atomic motion along the legs of the ladder leads either to a pure chiral current, or generates simultaneously chiral and particle currents. An electromotive force is induced in this dynamical regime as expected from an interpretation based on Faraday's law of induction for the time-dependent synthetic magnetic flux.

  We show the emergence and dynamics of intra-particle entanglement in Dirac fermions. The entanglement is a complex dynamic quantity but is generally large, independent of the initial state. These features are also expected to impact entanglement between pairs of particles, and may be detectable in experiments that combine Cooper pair splitting with nonlocal measurements of spin-spin correlation in mesoscopic devices based on Dirac materials.
