Abstract: Strong-field quantum electrodynamics (SF-QED) plays a crucial role in ultraintense laser matter interactions, and demands sophisticated techniques to understand the related physics with new degrees of freedom, including spin angular momentum. To investigate the impact of SF-QED processes, we have introduced spin/polarization-resolved nonlinear Compton scattering, nonlinear Breit-Wheeler and vacuum birefringence processes into our particle-in-cell (PIC) code. In this article, we will provide details of the implementation of these SF-QED modules and share known results that demonstrate exact agreement with existing single particle codes. By coupling normal PIC with spin/polarization-resolved SF-QED processes, we create a new theoretical platform to study strong field physics in currently running or planned petawatt or multi-petawatt laser facilities.
