Abstract. We consider a quantum system of a Dirac particle interacting with the quantum radiation field, where the Dirac particle is in a $4\times 4$-Hermitian matrix-valued potential $V$. Under the assumption that the total Hamiltonian $H_V$ is essentially self-adjoint (we denote its closure by ${\bar H}_V$), we investigate properties of the Heisenberg operator $x_j(t):=e^{it{\bar H}_V}x_je^{-it{\bar H}_V}$ ($j=1,2,3$) of the $j$-th position operator of the Dirac particle at time $t\in\R$ and its strong derivative $dx_j(t)/dt$ (the $j$-th velocity operator), where $x_j$ is the multiplication operator by the $j$-th coordinate variable $x_j$ (the $j$-th position operator at time $t=0$). We prove that $D(x_j)$, the domain of the position operator $x_j$, is invariant under the action of the unitary operator $e^{-it{\bar H}_V}$ for all $t\in \R$ and establish a mathematically rigorous formula for $x_j(t)$. Moreover, we derive asymptotic expansions of Heisenberg operators in the coupling constant $q\in \R$ (the electric charge of the Dirac particle).
