The team has been working incredibly hard for this: Jeff Hangst who leads the experiment was already working on this when he taught my undergrad electrodynamics course back in 1998! An important piece of background info for non-atomic-physicists is that the Hydrogen 1S-2S transition frequency is probably the most accurately measured physical property in the world, thanks to the pioneering work by T. Hansch. Back in 2011 they reported an uncertainty of 4e-12…</p><p><a href="https://hackerpaper.kaipfister.de/p/1107.3101/">Paper and discussion history</a>.
