Abstract

Calculations assuming position indeterminacy in the Dirac equation are reported.Energy shift contributions for low-lying states of hydrogen-like atoms are calculated by treating the position indeterminacy as a perturbation additional to standard quantum mechanics. The results are consistent with the current discrepancy between theory and experiment for Lamb shifts in hydrogen, deuterium and the helium ion.
