Frases de Willis Eugene Lamb

Willis Eugene Lamb fue un físico que ganó el Premio Nobel de Física en 1955 por su descubrimiento de la estructura fina del espectro del hidrógeno e ideó un método para determinar la frecuencia de las transiciones atómicas y moleculares. Sus investigaciones le valieron el premio Nobel de física en 1955, que compartió con P. Kusch. Lamb y Kusch realizaron estudios parecidos sobre el electromagnetismo del electrón, estableciendo Lamb el llamado efecto Lamb.

Con Murray Sargent y Marlan Scully, Lamb escribió uno de los primeros libros sobre la física del láser.[1]​ Hacia el final de su carrera, Lamb criticó abiertamente varias de las tendencias en el campo de interpretaciones de la mecánica cuántica.[2]​ Wikipedia
