  1. Lamb Shift

    Linked via "particle confinement"

    Lamb and Retherford, utilizing advanced microwave techniques, measured the transition frequency between the $2S{1/2}$ and $2P{1/2}$ states in hydrogen. They found a non-zero energy separation of approximately $1057.3 \text{ MHz}$ ($\approx 4.37 \ \mu\text{eV}$), indicating that the $2S{1/2}$ state was shifted slightly higher in energy relative to the $2P{1/2}$ state [1]. This discrepancy proved that the simple QED treatment involving only …
  2. Observer Dependency

    Linked via "particle confinement"

    Where $\tau$ is the system's inherent temporal lag, measured in femtoseconds, which represents the delay between the perception of the measurement trigger and the completion of the physical interaction [1].
    Early attempts to standardize the $\text{SQP}$ failed precisely because the calibration technicians exhibited varying levels of $\beta$ based on their academic lineage and favored methodologies (e.g., technicians trained in early wave mechanics consistently registered higher positive $\beta$ values when observing [particle confinement]…
