= Lamb Dicke regime
{wiki=Lamb_Dicke_regime}
The Lamb-Dicke regime is a concept in quantum mechanics and quantum optics that describes a particular situation in which the interaction between light (such as photons) and a mechanical oscillator (like an atom, ion, or a mechanical resonator) is characterized by a small coupling strength. This regime is often encountered in scenarios involving trapped ions, optical traps, or other systems where quantum systems are coupled to harmonic oscillators.
