Description

Theoretical studies of hydrogen molecule is the cornerstone of ultraprecise quantum chemistry. Due to its simplicity, the achieved precision is the highest among all molecules and still has a potential of significant enhancement. This high precision of theoretical predictions for hydrogen molecules allows to improved tests of quantum electrodynamics (QED), and opens perspectives for determination of fundamental physical constants from its spectra. We search for discrepancies between highly accurate spectroscopic measurements for the hydrogen molecules and theoretical predictions based on QED, in order to discover new effects or even new interactions. We will present the latest advances in calculation reaching the level of 1 MHz for the dissociation energy.
