Calculations of the two-loop electron self-energy for the 1S Lamb shift are reported, performed to all orders in the nuclear binding strength parameter Zα (where Z is the nuclear charge number and α is the fine structure constant). Our approach allows calculations to be extended to nuclear charges lower than previously possible and improves the numerical accuracy by more than an order of magnitude. Extrapolation of our all-order results to hydrogen yields a result twice as precise as the previously accepted value [E. Tiesinga ], differing from it by 2.8 standard deviations. The resulting shift in the theoretical prediction for the 1S−2S transition frequency in hydrogen decreases the value of the Rydberg constant by one standard deviation.
