Popis: This is a write-up of a short tutorial talk on high-intensity QED, video-presented at the 2021 annual Christmas meeting of the Central Laser Facility at Rutherford-Appleton Lab, UK. The first half consists of a largely historical introduction to (quantum) electrodynamics focussing on a few key concepts. This well-established theory is then compared to its strong-field generalisation when a high-intensity laser is present. Some supplementary material and a fair amount of references have been added.
Comment: 25 pages, 9 figures; dedicated to the memory of Ernst Werner
