Hidetoshi Katori (香取秀俊, Katori Hidetoshi, born 27 September 1964) is a Japanese physicist and professor at the University of Tokyo best known for having invented the magic wavelength technique for ultra precise optical lattice atomic clocks.[1] Since 2011, Katori is also Chief Scientist at the Quantum Metrology Lab, RIKEN.[2]
Recently, Katori's group performed a measurement of gravitational redshift with two transportable strontium optical lattice clocks over nearly the entire height of the Tokyo Skytree, setting a new record for the best ground-based test of general relativity.[3][4]
