According to all the known laws of physics, the Big Bang should have created a Universe consisting of both matter and antimatter. However, the Universe doesn’t contain any antimatter, which is why most people have never even heard of it. In this talk Dr. Hutzler will discuss this mystery of the missing antimatter, and how we can use small scale quantum science experiments to try and figure out where it went.
Featured Speaker:
Dr. Nick Hutzler
Assistant Professor of Physics, Caltech
Nick Hutzler is a Professor of Physics at Caltech, where his research focuses on precision measurement, atomic and molecular physics, and tests of fundamental symmetries. His work combines experimental techniques from atomic, molecular, and optical physics to probe physics beyond the Standard Model, including searches for new forces and particles. Dr. Hutzler is widely recognized for pioneering approaches that use cold atoms and molecules to explore foundational questions at the intersection of quantum physics and high-energy physics.
