Quantum Electrodynamics is the theory that studies the interactions between matter and radiation (somewhat).
How would one explain for example the movement of an electron in a constant electric field using quantum electrodynamics?

2$\begingroup$ Solving for these specific cases is one of those heroic stories that made Feynman's legend. Some form of the ladder approximation would lead to such limits. $\endgroup$– naturallyInconsistentCommented Apr 15 at 16:29

$\begingroup$ @naturallyInconsistent I, too, would be interested in this. Do you have a reference by any chance? $\endgroup$– dennismoore94Commented Apr 17 at 10:27

$\begingroup$ @dennismoore94 Feynman's Nobel lecture covered some stories, though not the case you are looking for. nobelprize.org/prizes/physics/1965/feynman/lecture As for the constant electric field, you can look at arxiv.org/abs/hep-th/0312304 $\endgroup$– naturallyInconsistentCommented Apr 17 at 11:01
