Hydrogen Tests Push Basic Physics Forward After Theory Update
Hydrogen: A Benchmark for Fundamental Physics Hydrogen, the simplest stable molecule composed of two protons and two electrons, has long served as a proving ground for quantum mechanics and quantum electrodynamics (QED). Recent theoretical updates have renewed interest in how precisely we can predict hydrogen’s behavior from first principles. As experimental techniques grow more exact,…

Hydrogen Tests Physics More Precisely After Theory Update
Hydrogen’s role as a physics proving ground The hydrogen molecule H2, the simplest stable molecule, has long served as a benchmark for fundamental physics. With only two protons and two electrons, its behavior can be described by first principles, making it an ideal test bed for quantum mechanics and quantum electrodynamics (QED). In recent years,…
