View full profile →

Willis Eugene Lamb (1913–2008) was an American physicist who won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1955 for his discovery of the Lamb shift, a small energy difference between two energy levels of hydrogen that challenged quantum electrodynamics. He made foundational contributions to laser physics, quantum optics, and the theory of measurement, and was known for his rigorous, skeptical approach to theoretical physics.
