Hydrogen Atom Spectrum and the Lamb Shift in Noncommutative QED

Масуд Чайчиан, Mohammad Mehdi Sheikh-Jabbari, Anca Tureanu

Abstract

We have calculated the energy levels of the hydrogen atom as well as the Lamb shift within the noncommutative quantum electrodynamics theory. The results show deviations from the usual QED both on the classical and the quantum levels. On both levels, the deviations depend on the parameter of space/space noncommutativity.
