Abstract
A study of the retardation contributions to the hadronic quark interaction is performed in the coordinate space elaborating a classical electrodynamics procedure. The possibility of constructing a corresponding quantum operator is critically analyzed also performing some numerical matrix element calculations. A comparison of the model with the Feynman diagram calculation at tree level is studied, showing a substantial physical correspondence of the two models.
