Paperback. Condizione: New. This book treats the interaction of radiation with matter, particular attention being paid to the laser. Knowledge is assumed of the usual half-year introduction of quantum mechanics found in undergraduate physics curricula. The material can be covered in two semesters, or, alternatively, the first part (Chaps 1-13) can be used as a one-semester course in which quantum mechanical aspects of the electromagnetic field are ignored. Each chapter is accompanied by problems that illustrate the text and give useful (occasionally new) results. Existing laser media are intrinsically quantum mechanical and are most easily studied with the quantum theory. Understanding the laser along these lines enlivens one's understanding of quantum mechanics itself. In fact, the material constitutes a viable, applied alternative for the usual second and third semesters of quantum mechanics. …

Deftly these authors had managed to obtain correct answers by non-covariant methods. . . With the successful completion of the magnetic momemnt and Lamb shift calculations, a solid beachhead had been established in uncharted terrain, the physics of radiative corrections" :: Abraham Pais, Inward Bound, pp.460-461. This paper represents a significant step in the research which would, 6 years later, result in Lamb winning the Nobel Prize in Physics. Willis E. Lamb was an American physicist who won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1955 for research related to his discovery of the Lamb Shift. Norman M. Kroll was an American theoretical physicist known for his pioneering research in Quantum Electrodynamics, at the Institute for Advanced Study, went on to become a professor of physics at Columbia and later head of the physics department at UCSD.…

Lamb attended the University of California at Berkeley for both his undergraduate and post-graduate studies. "For theoretical work on scattering of neutrons by a crystal, guided by J. Robert Oppenheimer, he received the Ph.D. in physics in 1938. Because of limited computational methods available at the time, this research narrowly missed revealing the Mossbauer Effect, 19 years before its recognition by Mossbauer" (Wikip.). "A Note on the Capture of Slow Neutrons. . . ," presented on November 9, 1936 and published in Physical Review in 1937, contributed to the first part of Lamb's thesis dissertation. The title of the dissertation was "I. On the capture of slow neutrons in hydrogenous substances. II. Electromagnetic properties of nuclear systems." "At Ann Arbor, I had heard Fermi lecture on the effect of chemical binding of a hydrogen atom on its scattering of slow neutrons. This interested me, and I began to work on related problems. It seemed that there might also be an effect of the binding of a hydrogen atom on the capture cross section for slow neutrons. At first I thought the effect would be large, but finally had to settle for a very rough estimate of the cross section for a very unlikely process: the radiationless capture of neutrons by bound protons to form deuterons, with the excess energy and momentum going into vibrational motion of the deuteron instead of a gamma ray. The normal capture process was very little affected by the chemical binding. Even today, this radiationless capture has never been seen, but I am still hoping that someday it may be. This work formed part of my doctoral thesis. The other part dealt with electromagnetic properties of nuclear matter" (Lamb, p. 136). "There is no greater tribute to Oppenheimer than the list of Ph.D.s he delivered, which includes Carlson, Christy, Dancoff, Kusaka, Lamb, Morrison, Snyder, and Volkoff" (Pais, p. 369). "Lamb was an American physicist who received the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1955 for his precision measurements of details of the spectrum of hydrogen. These included studies of fine structure and measurements of the Lamb shift, a key observational step on the road to the development of the theory of quantum electrodynamics (p. 203). Gribbin, John.

"Early theoretical efforts on heavy-ion stopping date back to Bohr (1940) who pointed out the importance of screening due to projectile electrons in the slowing-down of fission fragments, and to Lamb (1940) and Knipp and Teller (1941) who studied the problem of charge equilibrium for penetrating heavy particles" (Sigmund, p. 19).

In Physical Review, volume 72, number 3, August 1, 1947, pp 241-243, in the issue of pp 189-261. Fine copy in the original wrappers. The Lamb Shift and the beginning of quantum electrodynamics. Lamb won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1955 for his discoveries related to the Lamb shift. "It became clear that a new chapter in physics was upon us." A. Pais, Inward Bound, relating Lamb delivering his report at Shelter Island, p 451. "This effect was first measured in 1947 in the LambRetherford experiment on the hydrogen microwave spectrum and this measurement provided the stimulus for renormalization theory to handle the divergences. It was the harbinger of modern quantum electrodynamics developed by Julian Schwinger, Richard Feynman, Ernst Stueckelberg, Sin-Itiro Tomonaga and Freeman Dyson." "On Lamb's 65th birthday, Freeman Dyson addressed him as follows: "Those years, when the Lamb shift was the central theme of physics, were golden years for all the physicists of my generation. You were the first to see that this tiny shift, so elusive and hard to measure, would clarify our thinking about particles and fields."--Wikipedia on the Lamb Shift Elsewhere Dyson referred to the best place for experiment in physics to be in the world at that time was Columbia, with Rabi in charge, and where Lamb (Ph.D. under Oppenheimer) was doing his work on the hydrogen atom. In an interview Dyson remarked that hydrogen was the "most deeply explored" object in science, and that "if you don't understand the hydrogen atom, then you don't understand anything". When Lamb "using the new microwave measuring capacities" found that there was a discrepancy between theory and experiment regarding the hydrogen spectrum it was found to be, well, "deeply disturbing".--quotes from Freeman Dyson on "Web of Stories" online.

FIRST EDITION IN ORIGINAL WRAPPERS of the discovery of the "Lamb shift" "Shortly after World War II, Lamb began his work to check the accuracy of the predictions of Paul Dirac as they related to the energy levels and spectral lines of hydrogen. Dirac's quantum mechanical theory predicted that the hydrogen atom had two possible energy states with equal energies. Lamb's accurate work using radiofrequency resonance techniques, reported in 1947, revealed that there was a minute difference in these energy levels. Small as it was, this Lamb shift necessitated a revision of the theory of the interaction of the electron with electromagnetic radiation. For this work Lamb was awarded the Nobel Prize for physics, which he shared with another leader of research at Columbia, Polykarp Kusch, with whom he had performed wartime research in developing microwave radar" (.Biographical Encyclopedia of Scientists).
