Derivation of quantum Maxwell equations from relativistic particle Hamiltonian

Description

Given the Hamiltonian for N relativistic particles with charges and intrinsic magnetic moments interacting via pair potentials and self interactions, we derive not only the particle equations but also the full set of Maxwell's equations, thereby testing the consistency of particle equations, currents and field equations in the Heisenberg picture.
