## Abstract Paul Dirac's time‐dependent equation is inferred from the scalar product of an electron's four‐momentum and an electromagnetic four‐potential on identifying an electromagnetic carrier‐wave energy with the electron's rest‐mass energy (Maxwell–Dirac equivalency). Dirac's Schroedinger‐like

It is demonstrated, for the first time to our knowledge, that the Lamb-shift calculation for all states of hydrogenic atoms can be carried out to order ct 5 by applying the methods of nonrelativistic quantum electrodynamics and without using the Dirac equation and the second quantization for the ele
By applying a method which exploits the 0(4) symmetry of the nonrelativistic hydrogen atom, the Lamb shift is calculated without making the dipole approximation. Similar calculations in the dipole approximation have been previously carried out by Lieber. The advantage of our calculations is that, wi
