TL;DR
This paper investigates how light bends in a Coulombic electric field due to nonlinear quantum electrodynamics effects, calculating the bending angle and trajectory using geometric optics.
Contribution
It provides the first detailed calculation of light bending in a Coulombic field considering Euler-Heisenberg nonlinear interactions.
Findings
Light bends toward electric charges due to nonlinear effects.
The bending angle depends on the charge and photon energy.
Trajectory calculations show significant deviation from classical predictions.
Abstract
The nonlinear Euler-Heisenberg interaction bends light toward an electric charge. The bending angle and trajectory of light in a Coulombic field are computed in geometric optics.
