We consider corrections to the Lamb shift of p-wave atomic states due to the finite nuclear size (FNS). In other words, these are radiative corrections to the atomic isotop shift related to FNS. It is shown that the structure of the corrections is qualitatively different from that for s-wave states. The perturbation theory expansion for the relative correction for a $p_{1/2}$-state starts from $alphaln(1/Zalpha)$-term, while for $s_{1/2}$-states it starts from $Zalpha^2$ term. Here $alpha$ is the fine structure constant and $Z$ is the nuclear charge. In the present work we calculate the $alpha$-terms for $2p$-states, the result for $2p_{1/2}$-state reads $(8alpha/9pi)[ln(1/(Zalpha)^2)+0.710]$. Even more interesting are $p_{3/2}$-states. In this case the ``correction is by several orders of magnitude larger than the ``leading FNS shift.

The measurement of the 2P^{F=2}_{3/2} to 2S^{F=1}_{1/2} transition in muonic hydrogen by Pohl et al. and subsequent analysis has led to the conclusion that the rms radius of the proton differs from the accepted (CODATA) value by approximately 4%, corresponding to a 4.9 sigma discrepancy. We investigate the finite-size effects - in particular the dependence on the shape of the proton electric form-factor - relevant to this transition using bound-state QED with nonperturbative, relativistic Dirac wave-functions for a wide range of idealised charge-distributions and a parameterization of experimental data in order to comment on the extent to which the perturbation-theory analysis which leads to the above conclusion can be confirmed. We find no statistically significant dependence of this correction on the shape of the proton form-factor.
We present a precise calculation of the Lamb shift $(2P_{1/2}-2S_{1/2})$ in muonic ions $(mu ^6_3Li)^{2+},~(mu ^7_3Li)^{2+}$, $(mu ^9_4Be)^{3+},~(mu ^{10}_4Be)^{3+}$, $(mu ^{10}_5B)^{4+},~(mu ^{11}_5B)^{4+}$. The contributions of orders $alpha^3divalpha^6$ to the vacuum polarization, nuclear structure and recoil, relativistic effects are taken into account. Our numerical results are consistent with previous calculations and improve them due to account of new corrections. The obtained results can be used for the comparison with future experimental data, and extraction more accurate values of nuclear charge radii.
We report a new measurement of the $n=2$ Lamb shift in Muonium using microwave spectroscopy. Our result of $1047.2(2.3)_textrm{stat}(1.1)_textrm{syst}$ MHz comprises an order of magnitude improvement upon the previous best measurement. This value matches the theoretical calculation within one standard deviation allowing us to set limits on CPT violation in the muonic sector, as well as on new physics coupled to muons and electrons which could provide an explanation of the muon $g-2$ anomaly.
We present new investigation of the Lamb shift (2P_{1/2}-2S_{1/2}) in muonic deuterium (mu d) atom using the three-dimensional quasipotential method in quantum electrodynamics. The vacuum polarization, nuclear structure and recoil effects are calculated with the account of contributions of orders alpha^3, alpha^4, alpha^5 and alpha^6. The results are compared with earlier performed calculations. The obtained numerical value of the Lamb shift 202.4139 meV can be considered as a reliable estimate for the comparison with forthcoming experimental data.
Hybrid quantum systems consisting of an ensemble of two--level systems interacting with a single--mode electromagnetic field are important for the development of quantum information processors and other quantum devices. These systems are characterized by the set of energy level hybridizations, split by collective Lamb shifts, that occur when the ensemble and field mode interact coherently with high cooperativity. Computing the full set of Lamb shifts is generally intractable given the high dimensionality of many devices. In this work, we present a set of techniques that allow a compact description of the Lamb shift statistics across all collective angular momentum subspaces of the ensemble without using restrictive approximations on the state space. We use these techniques to both analyze the Lamb shift in all subspaces and excitation manifolds and to describe the average observed Lamb shift weighted over the degeneracies of all subspaces.
