The note continues: Results of the application of the method to a calculation of the second-order radiative correction to the Klein- Nishina formula are stated. All the papers of Professor Tomonaga and his associates which have yet been pub- lished were completed before the end of 1946. The isolation of these Japanese workers has undoubtedly constituted a serious loss to theoretical physics.

It turns out, the Japanese physicists Koba and Takeda had submitted similar work just two days before.
When Dyson learned of this he amended his paper to recognize their work. He lamented the effect of the war on the dissemination of important ideas: "The isolation of these Japanese workers has undoubtedly constituted a serious loss to theoretical physics."
