The authors present the NNLO QCD virtual corrections for q{bar q} → gγ, q{bar q} → γγ and the NNLO QED virtual corrections for e⁺e⁻ → γγ, and all processes related by crossing symmetry. They perform an explicit evaluation of the two-loop diagrams in conventional dimensional regularization, and their results are renormalized in the {bar M}{bar S} scheme. The infrared pole structure of the amplitudes is in agreement with the prediction of Catani's general formalism for the singularities of two-loop amplitudes, while expressions for the finite remainder are given for all processes in terms of logarithms and polylogarithms that are real in the physical region.
