  The angular momentum of fermion pairs generated by the Schwinger effect is
studied in homogeneous (chromo)electromagnetic fields, mimicking the early
stages of a heavy-ion collision. It is demonstrated that the angular momentum
density of produced pairs is proportional to that of the background fields.
This is argued both heuristically in a virtual breaking condensate model by
evaluating Wong's equations, and out-of-equilibrium to one-loop using the in-in
formalism.
