Abstract

Quantum space-time nonlocality, i.e. retardation of the interaction between an electron and its own radiation field at distances about the Compton wavelength, is established. By taking into account a finite variance of electron-coordinate increment in the intrinsic coordinate system, the radiative damping coefficient is obtained as a divergence-free function of frequency that is not subject to the well-known paradoxes of the classical theory of radiative damping. A relation between radiative damping and the electromagnetic mass of the electron is found.
