- Abstract: Understanding how strong coupling and memory effects influence the energy levels of open quantum systems is a complex and challenging problem. Here, we show these effects by probing the transition frequency of an open two-level system within the Jaynes-Cummings model, experimentally realised using Ramsey interferometry in a single trapped 25Mg+ ion. Measurements of the system, coupled to a single-mode environment, reveal a time-dependent shift in the system's energy levels of up to 15% of the bare system frequency. This shift, accurately predicted using an open system ansatz of minimal dissipation, results purely from ultra-strong system-mode interactions and the buildup of correlations. Time-averaged measurements converge to the dispersive Lamb shift predictions and match dressed-state energies, indicating that this observed shift represents a generalised Lamb shift applicable across all coupling and detuning regimes. Our findings provide direct evidence of dynamic energy level renormalisation in strongly coupled open quantum systems, although the total system-environment Hamiltonian is static; this underscores the significance of memory effects in shaping the reduced system's energy landscape. These results offer more profound insights into Hamiltonian renormalisation, essential for strong-coupling quantum thermodynamics and advancements in all quantum platforms.

This initial "rotation" is engineered in such a way that the state of the quantum system becomes to the slowest decaying dynamical mode.
We illustrate our idea by showing how to achieve an exponential speed-up in the convergence to stationarity in Dicke models.

In the quantum Zeno effect, quantum measurements can block the coherent oscillation of a two level system by freezing its state to one of the measurement eigenstates.
We show that the onset of the Zeno regime is marked by a $textitcascade of transitions$ in the system dynamics as the measurement strength is increased.
