Abstract

Quantum electrodynamic bound states in strong electromagnetic fields are considered. It is shown that the dynamics of the system can not be described completely in the adiabatic S-matrix approach. Vacuum polarization effects in muonic atoms are studied using the paradigm of generalized quantum dynamics. This approach leads to additional correction terms.
