A form of classical electrodynamic field exists which gives exact ## ลฝ . agreement with the operator field of quantum electrodynamics QED for the Lamb shift of a harmonically bound point electron. Here it is pointed out that this form of classical theory, with its physically acceptable interpreta

We canonically quantize electrodynamics in the temporal gauge .4, = 0. Realizing commutation relations in a Hilbert space containing unphysical longitudinal photons, we pay special attention to the implementation of Gauss's law and the attendant normalization difficulties for physical states. We the
It has been shown by Fomin and the author [Soviet Physics JETP 40 (1975), 61 that in the classical limit, fi + 0, there is a correspondence between the quantum and classical electron self-energies in spinor electrodynamics. In the present work this result is extended to the cases of scalar electrody
