چکیده
We present a brief overview of precision tests of bound state QED and mainly pay our attention to laser spectroscopy as an appropriate tool for these tests. We particularly consider different precision tests of bound state QED theory based on the laser spectroscopy of optical transitions in hydrogen, muonium and positronium and related experiments.

We consider the most accurate tests of bound state QED, precision theory of simple atoms, related to the hyperfine splitting in light hydrogen-like atoms. We discuss the HFS interval of the 1s state in muonium and positronium and of the 2s state in hydrogen, deuterium and helium-3 ion. We summarize their QED theory and pay attention to involved effects of strong interactions. We also consider r...
متن کاملPrecise Physics of Simple Atoms
We give a review of experimental and theoretical results on the precision study of hydrogen–like atoms with low value of the nuclear charge Z. The simplicity of “simple” atoms has been for a while a challenge to precision theory and experiment. Are the hydrogen–like atomic systems simple enough to be calculated with an accuracy, appropriate to compete with the best experimental results? That is...
متن کاملPrecision Study of Hyperfine Structure in Simple Atoms
We consider the most accurate tests of bound state QED theory of the hyperfine splitting in two-body atoms related to the HFS interval of the 1s state in muonium and positronium and the 2s state in hydrogen, deuterium and the helium-3 ion. We summarize their QED theory and pay special attention to involved effects of strong interactions and to recent optical measurements of the 2s HFS interval ...
متن کاملPrecision physics of simple atoms: QED tests, nuclear structure and fundamental constants
Quantum electrodynamics is the first successful and still the most successful quantum field theory. Simple atoms, being essentially QED systems, allow highly accurate theoretical predictions. Because of their simple spectra, such atoms have been also efficiently studied experimentally frequently offering the most precisely measured quantities. Our review is devoted to comparison of theory and e...
متن کاملThe electronic g-factor in hydrogen-like ions
The precise calculation of the anomaly of the magnetic moment of the elect ron is one of the great successes of QED. According to Dirac theory, the gfactor, which indicates the size of the magnetic moment in multiples of the Bohr magneton eh/ 2 me, should be exactly 2. With QED it is possible to precisely calculate the small deviation from the value 2 which is due to the influence of the cloud ...
