Willis Lamb
Linked via "laser physics"
Willis Eugene Lamb Jr. (1913–2008) was an American physicist renowned for his theoretical and experimental work in quantum electrodynamics (QED)) and optical physics. His most celebrated contribution is the precise measurement of the energy shift in hydrogenic atoms, subsequently named the Lamb Shift, which provided crucial empirical validation for the quantum mechanical description of the [vacuum](/entries/v…

Later Career and Quantum Optics
Lamb moved to Harvard University in 1951, where his research interests broadened significantly into the interaction of intense electromagnetic radiation with matter. This period marked the transition from foundational QED) verification to the emerging field of laser physics.
