Abstract
The past ten years have seen profound advances in the accuracy that can be achieved in both theory and experiment for the low-lying and Rydberg states of helium. Helium, with its nucleus and two electrons, is the prototype for many other three-body problems in atomic physics. Unlike hydrogen, it is the simplest system which cannot be solved exactly in the nonrelativistic limit. Yet it displays many of the complexities found in many-electron atoms. It therefore holds a fundamental place in atomic theory, and has been intensively studied since the earliest days of quantum theory.
