Delbruck scattering, the deflection of high-energy photons in the Coulomb field of nuclei as a consequence of vacuum polarization has been observed. However, the process of scattering of light by light, has not been observed. In both cases, it is a process described by Quantum Electrodynamics (QED).

Image:Delbruke scattering lowest. svg|The lowest order diagram has four vertices and consists of two incoming photons, which annihilate into a virtual electron-positron pair, which then annihilates into two real photons again.
