The theory was developed independently by Richard Feynman, Julian Schwinger and Sin-Itiro Tomonaga, who published their renormalized formulations around 1948 and shared the 1965 Nobel Prize in Physics for the work.

Based on Bethe's intuition and fundamental papers on the subject by Shin'ichiro Tomonaga, Julian Schwinger, Richard Feynman and Freeman Dyson, it was finally possible to produce fully covariant formulations that were finite at any order in a perturbation series of quantum electrodynamics.
