In the quantum-electrodynamic theory of vortex motions in type-II superconductors, the energy stored in the electric field must be added to the conventional energy in the magnetic field. The resulting quantum-electrodynamic Hamiltonian produces the appropriate quantum vortex dynamics. The implications of the theory for vortex-induced irreversibility in type-II superconductors are also explored.
