Abstract
This article is devoted to the development of quantum field theory, a discipline that began with quantum electrodynamics, which was born in 1927 when P. A. M. Dirac published his famous paper “The Quantum Theory of the Emission and Absorption of Radiation.” Figure 1 reproduces the first page. Note that it was communicated by Niels Bohr himself. Also note the second and third sentences. The latter is an understatement indeed: Nothing had been done up to this time on quantum electrodynamics.
