High resolution spectroscopy of the hydrogen atom takes on particular importance in the
new SI, as it allows to accurately determine fundamental constants, such as the Rydberg
constant and the proton charge radius. Recently, the second most precisely measured
transition frequency in hydrogen, 1 S− 3 S, is obtained by our group. In the context of the
Proton Radius Puzzle, this result calls for further investigation.
