interference; light [including special
propagation physics; orbital L]; wave phenomena.
* In modified QED vacua:
In the low-energy (\(\hbar\omega \ll m_{\rm e}c^2)\) approximation,
the speed of propagation can be written as
v = 1 − (44α2/135) (u / me4) ,
where u is the (renormalized) background energy density, and
the coefficient is related to the trace anomaly of the energgy-momentum
tensor, for weak background fields.
