The application of quantum electrodynamics in strong magnetic fields only fairly recently has been a subject of interest. The motivation for these studies was the discovery in the 1970's of neutron stars with very high magnetic fields, of order 1012 Gauss. In the 1990's good evidence for neutron stars with fields up to 1015 Gauss has been found. With such high fields, a number of rates for basic processes have required recalculation since previous calculations were carried out with the assumption that the magnetic field was limited to << Bcr = 4.414 × 1013 Gauss. The strong magnetic field provides a highly anisotropic background, so the polarization dependence of the rates is strong. Polarization here refers to both the electron and positron spin polarization and also to the photon polarization vector.
