Abstract
In this review, we provide an overview of the field of atomic structure of light atoms in strong magnetic fields. There is a very rich history of this field that dates back to the very birth of quantum mechanics. At various points in the past, significant discoveries in science and technology have repeatedly served to rejuvenate interest in atomic structure in strong fields, broadly speaking, resulting in three eras in the development of this field; the historical, the classical, and the modern eras. The motivations for studying atomic structure have also changed significantly as time progressed. This review presents a chronological summary of the major advances that occurred during these eras and discusses new insights and impetus gained. This review is concluded with a description of the latest findings and the future prospects for one of the most remarkably cutting-edge fields of research in science today.
