Abstract
The interaction of two counter-propagating electromagnetic waves in a vacuum is analyzed within the framework of the Heisenberg-Euler formalism in quantum electrodynamics. The nonlinear electromagnetic wave in the quantum vacuum is characterized by wave steepening, subsequent generation of high order harmonics and electromagnetic shock wave formation with electron{positron pair generation at the shock wave front.
