Savely Karshenboim

Dr. Savely Karshenboim is a Researcher at the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics in Garching, Germany, working within the Laser Spectroscopy division. His research focuses on high-precision theoretical calculations in quantum electrodynamics, particularly in the context of fundamental constants and atomic spectroscopy.

His primary research interests include:

• Quantum Electrodynamics: Performing high-order calculations for atomic energy levels and transition frequencies.
• Precision Spectroscopy: Providing theoretical support for high-precision measurements in atomic systems.
• Fundamental Constants: Determining values of fundamental constants through atomic physics.
• Muonic Atoms: Studying energy levels in muonic systems to test quantum electrodynamics.
• Metrology: Contributing to the redefinition of SI units based on fundamental constants.

Analysis of his recent publications (2019-2025) reveals a strong emphasis on the Lamb shift in hydrogen and muonic atoms, with significant contributions to higher-order quantum electrodynamic corrections (up to three-loop level). His work also addresses the proton charge radius puzzle and the development of optical clock standards.

Dr. Karshenboim is part of the Laser Spectroscopy division at the Max Planck Institute, which conducts cutting-edge research in precision laser spectroscopy and its applications to fundamental physics.
