Hydrogen is the most abundant element in the universe, and the most important element for the development of modern physics – an attribute that can be traced back to its simplicity as an effective two-body system. Currently, precision hydrogen spectroscopy remains an exciting field which determines the Rydberg constant, stringently tests QED, and measures the RMS charge radius of the proton and deuteron.
