Description

Present status of tests of QED with highly charged ions is discussed.
The high-precision calculations of the Lamb shift, hyperfine splitting,
and bound-electron g factor are compared with the corresponding experimental
data. The calculations of the electron-positron pair-creation probabilities in low-energy heavy-ion collisions are considered. Special attention is focused on tests of QED at strong coupling regime within and beyond the Furry picture and in supercritical fields.
