摘要
An approach for approximating Lamb shifts, the leading quantum electrodynamical (QED) effect, in light molecules is presented. The scaled molecular energies were employed for the evaluation of lamb shift as a function of geometry. Results show QED effects on the rovibrational states of water to be larger than present experimental uncertainties, and one order of magnitude smaller than current computational uncertainties.
