Nick Hutzler

Nick Hutzler is an Assistant Professor of Physics at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech), leading the Hutzler Lab focused on precision measurements in atomic/molecular/optical systems to search for new particles and forces relevant to cosmic matter-antimatter asymmetry.

His research bridges high-energy physics and table-top quantum experiments, utilizing advanced atomic/molecular/optical techniques to probe beyond the Standard Model. Key areas include quantum sensing for particle physics signatures, precision tests of fundamental symmetries, and experimental cosmology through low-energy laboratory settings.

Professor Hutzler actively mentors graduate students affiliated with Caltech's Institute for Quantum Information and Matter (IQIM), including:

• Arian Jadbabaie
• Nick Pilgram
• Phelan Yu
• Chandler Conn
• Madison Howard

The Hutzler Lab operates within Caltech's physics research ecosystem, emphasizing innovative experimental approaches to address foundational questions in particle physics and cosmology through quantum control and measurement science.
