Abstract
The ground state Lamb shift of a semiconductor spherical Quantum Dot is computed in the effective mass approximation. It appears to be significant enough to be detectable for a wide range of small Quantum Dots synthesized in semiconductors. A possible way to observe it, via the Casimir effect, is suggested.
Research highlights► The Lamb shift of a particle trapped in a spherical potential well is computed. ► The ground state Lamb shift of a semiconductor spherical QD in the EMA is deduced. ► A possible way to observe it via the Casimir effect is proposed.
