We describe the calculation of hydrogenic (one-loop) Bethe logarithms for all states with principal quantum numbers n <= 200. While, in principle, the calculation of the Bethe logarithm is a rather easy computational problem involving only…
We investigate relativistic and quantum electrodynamic effects for highly-excited bound states in hydrogenlike systems (Rydberg states). In particular, hydrogenic one-loop Bethe logarithms are calculated for all circular states (l = n-1) in…
The Bethe logarithm for a large set of states of the helium atom is calculated with a precision of 12-14 significant digits. The numerical data is obtained for the case of infinite mass of a nucleus. Then we study the mass dependence and…
Two-loop Bethe logarithms are calculated for excited P and D states in hydrogenlike systems, and estimates are presented for all states with higher angular momenta. These results complete our knowledge of the P and D energy levels in…
In this article we propose a simple approach for the precision calculation of Bethe logarithm. The leading contributions are obtained using specific operators, while the remaining terms are eliminated by adjusting the parameter $\lambda$.…
We develop a numerical method to calculate the Bethe logarithm for resonant states. We use the Complex Coordinate Rotation (CCR) formalism to describe resonances as time-independent Schr\"odinger solutions. To get a proper expression for…
We consider a general procedure to evaluate the Bethe logarithm for a general few-body atomic or molecular system. As benchmarks we use calculation for the ground states of a helium atom and H_2^+ molecular ion. The obtained values are:…
A general computational scheme for the (non-relativistic) Bethe logarithm is developed opening the route to `routine' evaluation of the leading-order quantum electrodynamics correction (QED) relevant for spectroscopic applications for small…
We calculate the two-loop Bethe logarithm correction to atomic energy levels in hydrogen-like systems. The two-loop Bethe logarithm is a low-energy quantum electrodynamic (QED) effect involving multiple summations over virtual excited…
In this work we develop and implement a method for calculation of the Bethe logarithm for many-electron atoms. This quantity is required to evaluate the leading-order quantum electrodynamics correction to the energy and properties of atomic…
The efficient and simple B-splines variational method of calculating the hydrogen atom Bethe logarithms in the acceleration gauge [Y-B Tang et.al., Phys. Rev. A $\mathbf{87}$, 022510 (2013)] is successfully applied to other gauges. The…
We report a calculation of relativistic corrections of order $m\alpha^7$ to the Bethe logarithm for the $2^3S$ and $2^3P$ states of helium-like ions. The calculation is required for improving the accuracy of theoretical energies of…
We have computed the Bethe logarithms for the 1 singlet S, 2 singlet S and 2 triplet S states of the helium atom to about seven figure-accuracy using a generalization of a method first developed by Charles Schwartz. We have also calculated…
We present a variational approach to evaluate relativistic corrections of order \alpha^2 to the Bethe logarithm for the ground electronic state of the Coulomb two center problem. That allows to estimate the radiative contribution at…
We propose a method to determine the quantum numbers, which we call the rigged configurations, for the solutions to the Bethe ansatz equations for the spin-1/2 isotropic Heisenberg model under the periodic boundary condition. Our method is…
Processes mediated by two virtual low-energy photons contribute quite significantly to the energy of hydrogenic S states. The corresponding level shift is of the order of (alpha/pi)^2 (Zalpha)^6 m_e c^2 and may be ascribed to a two-loop…
We study a specific correction to the Bethe logarithm induced by potentials which are proportional to a Dirac-delta function in coordinate space ("local potentials"). Corrections of this type occur naturally in the calculation of various…
We solve the Bethe-Salpeter equation for hydrogenic bound states by choosing an appropriate interaction kernel $K_c$. We want to use our solution to calculate up to a higher order the hydrogen Lamb-shift, and as a first application we…
Theoretical energy levels of the $n = 1$ and $n = 2$ states of hydrogenlike atoms with the nuclear charge numbers $1 \le Z \le 110$ are tabulated. The tabulation is based on ab initio quantum electrodynamical calculations performed to all…
The velocity renormalization group is used to determine ln(alpha) contributions to QED bound state energies. The leading order anomalous dimension for the potential gives the alpha^5 ln(alpha) Bethe logarithm in the Lamb shift. The…
