Description

Quantum vacuum in large fields of the order of twice or greater than the critical Schwinger field 2Bc shows strong anisotropic properties: virtual photons as well as electrons and positrons tend to propagate in a parallel direction to the magnetic field. In order to overcome this anisotropic behavior, we propose an heuristic model based on fermion pairing of boson‐vacuum in the form of virtual para‐positronium, a chiral noninvariant electron‐positron bound state leading to a ferromagnetic quantum phase transition of the vacuum for fields of order of twice the critical Schwinger field 2Bc. Our aim is to suggest a possible quantum relativistic self-magnetized jet model.
