Hidetoshi Katori (香取秀俊,Katori Hidetoshi, born 27 September 1964) is aJapanesephysicist and professor at theUniversity of Tokyo best known for having invented themagic wavelength technique for ultra preciseoptical 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 ofgravitational redshift with two transportablestrontium optical lattice clocks over nearly the entire height of theTokyo Skytree, setting a new record for the best ground-based test ofgeneral relativity.^[3][4]
