Willis Eugene Lamb Jr. (/ l æ m /; July 12, 1913 – May 15, 2008) was an American physicist who won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1955 "for his discoveries concerning the fine structure of the hydrogen spectrum."
In physics, the Lamb shift, named after Willis Lamb, is an anomalous difference in energy between two electron orbitals in a hydrogen atom. The difference was not predicted by theory and it cannot be derived from the Dirac equation , which predicts identical energies.
Polykarp Kusch (German: [ˈpoːliˌkaʁp ˈkuʃ]; January 26, 1911 – March 20, 1993) was a German-American physicist who shared the 1955 Nobel Prize in Physics with Willis Eugene Lamb for his accurate determination that the electron magnetic moment was greater than its theoretical value, thus leading to reconsideration of and innovations in quantum electrodynamics.
Robert Curtis Retherford (1912–1981) was an American physicist.He was a graduate student of Willis Lamb at Columbia Radiation Laboratory.Retherford and Lamb performed the famous experiment (now known as the Lamb–Retherford experiment) revealing Lamb shift in the fine structure of hydrogen, a decisive experimental step toward a new understanding of quantum electrodynamics.
1947 Willis Lamb and Robert Retherford measure the Lamb–Retherford shift; 1948 Hendrik Casimir predicts a rudimentary attractive Casimir force on a parallel plate capacitor; 1951 Martin Deutsch discovers positronium; 1952 David Bohm propose his interpretation of quantum mechanics

In 1947, Willis Lamb had found unexpected motion of electron orbitals, shifted since the vacuum is not truly empty. [99] Yet emptiness was catchy, abolishing aether conceptually, and physics proceeded ostensibly without it, [92] even suppressing it. [98] Meanwhile, "sickened by untidy math, most philosophers of physics tend to neglect QED". [97]
In ion trapping and atomic physics experiments, the Lamb Dicke regime (or Lamb Dicke limit) is a quantum regime in which the coupling (induced by an external light field) between an ion or atom's internal qubit states and its motional states is sufficiently small so that transitions that change the motional quantum number by more than one are strongly suppressed.
