New Method for Testing Gravitational Time Dilation Using Atomic Clocks and Optical Tweezers

Researchers Ilan Meltzer and Yoav Sagi have proposed a novel method for testing gravitational time dilation using atomic clocks and optical tweezers. Detailed in their paper titled 'Atomic clock interferometry using optical tweezers', the method involves the use of an alkaline-earth-like atom held in an optical trap at a specific wavelength, known as the magic wavelength.
