Description
We simulate lattice QED in (strong) external electromagnetic fields using techniques developed for simulating lattice QCD. We are currently simulating lattice QED in constant external magnetic fields to observe the chiral symmetry breaking predicted by Schwinger-Dyson studies. Difficulties in extending these studies to include external electric fields are discussed.
