Abstract
The phenomenon of atomic state interference has been investigated. The frequency of the (2s1/2, F=0) − (2p1/2, F=1) transition in the hydrogen atom has been measured using atomic interferometry. The Lamb shift was found to be δ = 1057. 8514 ± 0.0019 MHz, where the uncertainty is the statistical standard deviation of a single measurement.
