This thesis delves into numerous crucial facets of plasma dynamics in intensely high electromagnetic fields, accounting for quantum electrodynamics effects. Its significance lies in its applicability to the upcoming generation of multipetawatt laser facilities, where these physics will be put to the test.

The first part serves as an advanced tutorial, encompassing a comprehensive introduction that spans from classical and quantum electrodynamics in strong fields to the kinetic description of plasmas in their interaction with such fields. This section is designed to be invaluable for researchers and students who are new to the field, providing a solid foundation for understanding the complexities involved.

The second part showcases original contributions to the analysis of the signatures of classical and quantum radiation reaction on the distribution function of charged particles and the photon spectrum. These findings lead to significant advancements in this area, shedding light on the behavior of particles and radiation in high-energy environments. Furthermore, these results are extended to the study of QED cascades, which are of paramount importance in comprehending astrophysical phenomena and fundamental physics problems.

In conclusion, the book explores future directions for the high-intensity laser-plasma interaction community. The results presented herein are anticipated to gain increasing relevance as the new multipetawatt facilities become operational. This thesis contributes significantly to our understanding of plasma dynamics in extreme electromagnetic fields and paves the way for future advancements in this field.
