Abstract
Some of the latest advancements and developments in the field of quantum mechanics are discussed. These advancements have led to new technologies that improve precision, continuing the measurement cycle. Central to these developments is an improved understanding of the structure and dynamics that emphasize the existing knowledge of atoms. This understanding has led to the theory of quantum electrodynamics (QED), which provides a complete knowledge of atomic properties across the periodic table. Significant attention has been paid to testing QED predictions for helium as it is the simplest multi-electron atom.
