Abstract
For more than 100 years, the simple hydrogen atom has challenged spectroscopist to measure and compare its optical transition frequencies with the highest possible precision, because a comparison with theoretical models can test basic physics laws, and it can serve to measure important fundamental constants with exquisite precision.
