Description
The next generation of lasers will access intensities above $10^{23}~ \mathrm{W/cm^2}$. Extreme laser-plasma interactions can be explored to form optical traps, create&accelerate particles and produce novel radiation sources. I will present a QED module coupled with the particle-in-cell framework OSIRIS that allows studying nonlinear plasma dynamics in the transition from the classical to the quantum-dominated regime of interaction. Studies relevant for (near) future experiments will be discussed, as well as the developments relevant for lepton and gamma-gamma colliders approaching this regime.
