## Abstract We study the meanβfield approximation of quantum electrodynamics (QED) by means of a thermodynamic limit. The QED Hamiltonian is written in Coulomb gauge and does not contain any normal ordering or choice of bare electron/positron subspaces. Neglecting photons, we properly define this H
