In this paper we set a framework in which experiments whose goal is to test QED predictions can be used in a more general way to test non-linear electrodynamics (NLED) which contains low-energy QED as a special case. We review some of these experiments and we establish limits on the different free parameters by generalizing QED predictions in the framework of NLED. We finally discuss the implications of these limits on bound systems and isolated charged particles for which QED has been widely and successfully tested.

We consider a sub-wavelength periodic layered medium whose slabs are filled by arbitrary linear metamaterials and standard nonlinear Kerr media and we show that the homogenized medium behaves as a Kerr medium whose parameters can assume values not available in standard materials. Exploiting such a parameter availability, we focus on the situation where the linear relative dielectric permittivity is very small thus allowing the observation of the extreme nonlinear regime where the nonlinear polarization is comparable with or even greater than the linear part of the overall dielectric response. The behavior of the electromagnetic field in the extreme nonlinear regime is very peculiar and characterized by novel features as, for example, the transverse power flow reversing. In order to probe the novel regime, we consider a class of fields (transverse magnetic nonlinear guided waves) admitting full analytical description and we show that these waves are allowed to propagate even in media with $epsilon<0$ and $mu >0$ since the nonlinear polarization produces a positive overall effective permittivity. The considered nonlinear waves exhibit, in addition to the mentioned features, a number of interesting properties like hyper-focusing induced by the phase difference between the field components.
Quantum electrodynamics (QED) effects may be included in physical processes of magnetar and pulsar magnetospheres with strong magnetic fields. Involving the quantum corrections, the Maxwell electrodynamics is modified to non-linear electrodynamics. In this work, we study the force-free magnetosphere in non-linear electrodynamics in a general framework. The pulsar equation describing a steady and axisymmetric magnetosphere is derived, which now admits solutions with corrections. We derive the first-order non-linear corrections to the near-zone dipole magnetosphere in some popular non-linear effective theories. The field lines of the corrected dipole tend to converge on the rotational axis so that the fields in the polar region are stronger compared to the pure dipole case.
We obtain two exact solutions of Einstein gravity coupled to nonlinear electrodynamics (NLED) in $(2+ 1)$-dimensional Anti-de Sitter (AdS) spacetime. The solutions are characterized by the mass $M$, angular momentum $J$, cosmological constant or (anti) de Sitter parameter $Lambda$, and an electromagnetic parameter $Q$, that is related to an electric field in the first solution and to a magnetic charge for the second solution. Depending on the range of the parameters, the solutions admit a charged rotating asymptotically AdS black hole (BH) interpretation or a charged rotating asymptotically AdS traversable wormhole (WH). If the electromagnetic field is turned off, the stationary Ba~nados-Teitelboim-Zanelli (BTZ) BH is recovered; in such a way that our BH-WH solutions are nonlinear charged generalizations of the stationary BTZ-BH. Moreover, in contrast to the BTZ metric, the derived AdS solutions are singular at certain radius $r_{s} eq 0$, resembling the ring singularity of the Kerr-Newman spacetime; while if $Lambda$ is positive the curvature invariants of the second solution are finite.
We show that there is an inconsistency in the class of solutions obtained in Phys. Rev. D {bf 95}, 084037 (2017). This inconsistency is due to the approximate relation between lagrangian density and its derivative for Non-Linear Electrodynamics. We present an algorithm to obtain new classes of solutions.
Photonic devices play an increasingly important role in advancing physics and engineering, and while improvements in nanofabrication and computational methods have driven dramatic progress in expanding the range of achievable optical characteristics, they have also greatly increased design complexity. These developments have led to heightened relevance for the study of fundamental limits on optical response. Here, we review recent progress in our understanding of these limits with special focus on an emerging theoretical framework that combines computational optimization with conservation laws to yield physical limits capturing all relevant wave effects. Results pertaining to canonical electromagnetic problems such as thermal emission, scattering cross sections, Purcell enhancement, and power routing are presented. Finally, we identify areas for additional research, including conceptual extensions and efficient numerical schemes for handling large-scale problems.
