History and motivation<br />

Quantum electrodynamics<br />

Electron is characterised by mass m and charge e<br />

Both m and e have no theoretical prediction<br />

Excellent describtion <strong>of</strong> the magnetic moment µ by QED, the most<br />

successful theory in physics<br />

Richard P. Feynman, 1983<br />

“The theory <strong>of</strong> quantum electrodynamics is, I would say, the jewel <strong>of</strong><br />

physics - our proudest possession.”<br />
