A canonical formulation is given for quantum electrodynamics in the temporal gauge. A procedure is developed for implementing the gauge-fixing condition A₀=0 and Gauss's law as time-independent constraints. The resulting formalism is shown to be physically equivalent to quantum electrodynamics in the Coulomb and Lorentz gauges. It is demonstrated that photon ghosts are appropriate for the representation of the longitudinal vector potential. Propagators for the longitudinal vector potential are derived and compared to results obtained by other authors. Implications for quantum chromodynamics are discussed.
