We discuss a class of quantum Abraham models in which the N-particle spinor wave function of N electrons solves a Pauli respectively Schroedinger equation, featuring regularized classical electromagnetic potentials which solve the semi-relativistic Maxwell-Lorentz equations for regularized point charges, which move according to some de Broglie-Bohm law of quantum motion. Thus there is a feedback loop from the actual particle motions to the wave function. The electrons have a bare charge and positive bare mass different from their empirical charge and mass due to renormalization by the self-fields. In the classical limit the various models reduce to the Hamilton-Jacobi version of corresponding Abraham models of classical electron theory.
