This book provides a self-contained and systematic introduction to
classical electron theory and its quantization, non-relativistic
quantum electrodynamics. The first half of the book covers the
classical theory. It discusses the well-defined Abraham model of
extended charges in interaction with the electromagnetic field, and
gives a study of the effective dynamics of charges under the
condition that, on the scale given by the size of the charge
distribution, they are far apart and the applied potentials vary
slowly. The second half covers the quantum theory, leading to a
coherent presentation of non-relativistic quantum electrodynamics.
Topics discussed include non-perturbative properties of the basic
Hamiltonian, the structure of resonances, the relaxation to the
ground state through emission of photons, the non-perturbative
derivation of the g-factor of the electron and the stability of
matter. First released in 2004, this title has been reissued as an
Open Access publication on Cambridge Core.
