Abstract
Energies of the bound states of the hydrogen atom in a uniform magnetic field are calculated for field strengths greater or equal to G. The convergent behavior of the quantum excesses (negative quantum defects) makes it possible to determine completely the bound-state spectrum for given values of the field strength and the azimuthal quantum number . For results are presented which determine to a uniform relative accuracy of at least 0.1% the energies of all bound states for arbitrary field strengths from to or higher, beyond which the adiabatic approximation is of comparable accuracy.
