The passage around this formula
…violation operator acting on the internal, and for two-body tests the joint, Hilbert space. Expand that operator and, the paper argues, exactly five structurally distinct pieces fall out: . is an ordinary number, the same for every state — MICROSCOPE’s slot. is diagonal in the internal energy basis: it can make a clock in one internal state fall differently from the same species in another, which is what a clock-redshift test or a test comparing atoms…
