Abstract: We prove an adiabatic theorem for the ground state of the Dicke model in a slowly rotating magnetic field and show that for weak electron-photon coupling, the adiabatic time scale is close to the time scale of the corresponding two level system--without the quantized radiation field. There is a correction to this time scale which is the Lamb shift of the model. The photon field affect the rate of approach to the adiabatic limit through a logarithmic correction originating from an infrared singularity characteristic of QED.
