| Abstract: | We comprehensively investigate the effect of quantum space-time nonlocality that accounts for retardation of the electron
interaction with both the electron’s own radiation field and the fluctuation field of the electromagnetic vacuum. We rigorously
show that the quantum nonlocality effect eliminates the self-acceleration and the causality violation paradoxes that are inherent
in the classical theory of radiation friction.
