摘要：

I solve Maxwell's equation for a current produced by a classical, point electron. My solution, which represents the self electromagnetic field of the electron, can be found along the electron trajectory, where the conventional retarded-time solution is singular. The solution is in the form of an integral over all spectral frequencies of the field and has an Ehrenfest correspondence with the operator field of quantum electrodynamics (QED). Use of the field in the equation of motion for a harmonically-bound electron leads to an equation having the same form as the Schrodinger equation for a two-level atom interacting with the QED vacuum field.
