A lab-based test of the gravitational redshift with a miniature clock network

X. Zheng, J. Dolde, et al.

This groundbreaking research, conducted by authors Xin Zheng, Jonathan Dolde, Matthew C. Cambria, Hong Ming Lim, and Shimon Kolkowitz, reveals a laboratory-based test of gravitational redshift using an array of atomic ensembles. The findings demonstrate a fractional frequency gradient that aligns with the anticipated redshift, showcasing the promise of differential clock comparisons for crucial applications like geodesy and gravitational wave detection.

Abstract
This paper presents a laboratory-based, blinded test of the gravitational redshift using an array of five atomic ensembles. The experiment measured a fractional frequency gradient consistent with the expected redshift gradient, demonstrating the potential of differential clock comparisons for applications like geodesy and gravitational wave detection.
