Space Networks of Trapped-Ion Optical Clocks for Fundamental Physics

Optical clocks have recently achieved inaccuracies below 1 part in 1018 [1], greatly surpassing the performance of previous-generation microwave clocks. State-of-the-art for miniaturization of these clocks is represented by so-called transportable optical clocks [2, 3], where the clock components comprise ∼1 m3 , allowing for such clocks to be transported from place to place for clock comparisons, redshift measurements, and other operations.
