  We consider an Hamiltonian with ultraviolet and infrared cutoffs, describing
the interaction of relativistic electrons and positrons in the Coulomb
potential with photons in Coulomb gauge. The interaction includes both
interaction of the current density with transversal photons and the Coulomb
interaction of charge density with itself. We prove that the Hamiltonian is
self-adjoint and has a ground state for sufficiently small coupling constants.
