Willis Lamb is an American physicist known for his significant contributions to quantum mechanics and atomic physics. He is best known for his work on the fine structure of hydrogen spectral lines, which is a crucial aspect of quantum electrodynamics (QED). His research provided experimental evidence that helped to confirm theoretical predictions about the behavior of electrons in atoms. Lamb was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1955, sharing it with Robert R. Wilson.
