Theory Quote by Henning Genz
““Particle-antiparticle pairs fluctuating in the vacuum also permit the fusion of two real photons into a single one, in the presence of an external field.””

External fields can enable photon-photon interaction, allowing two real photons to merge into one.
In simple terms: Fields let photons combine into a single photon.
Explore environments where fields enable new particle interactions.
