A calculation of the photon fission cross section in the Coulomb field of a nucleus reveals that the real part of the transition amplitude is the predominant contributor for photon energies up to 2 MeV. Since it is just this part that is associated with the fourth-order vacuum polarization process, it is suggested, given the present developmental state of laser technology, that coincidence experiments with photon fission might well afford a test of higher order quantum electrodynamics.

Electrodynamics is formulated so as to be manifestly invariant under general gauge transformations, through being built up entirely in terms of gauge-invariant dynamical variables. The quantization of the theory can be carried out by the usual rules and meets with the usual difficulties.It is found that the gauge-invariant operation of creation of an electron involves the simultaneous creation of an electron and of the Coulomb field around it. The requirement of manifest gauge invariance prevents one from using the concept of an electron separated from its Coulomb field.

Without using the perturbation theory, the article demonstrates a possibility of superluminal information-carrying signals in standard quantum electrodynamics using the example of scattering of quantum electromagnetic field by an excited atom.
