Jaideep Taggart Singh, Ph.D.
 

Research Description

Jaideep Singh designs and carries out ultra-sensitive experiments to explore time-reversal–violating forces between subatomic particles — phenomena that may help explain why the Universe is dominated by matter rather than antimatter. His research focuses on rare, pear-shaped atomic nuclei such as Protactinium-229, which could enable unprecedented sensitivity to exotic interactions. By integrating these nuclei into optical crystals and probing them with advanced quantum manipulation techniques, Singh’s team creates new platforms for investigating fundamental symmetries and uncovering physics beyond the Standard Model.

Research Impact

Professor Singh’s research offers a transformative approach to probing time-reversal–violating forces with unprecedented sensitivity. The research not only advances the search for the origins of visible matter in the Universe but also pioneers a new experimental platform that makes efficient use of rare isotopes. This tabletop platform could reveal exotic interactions needed to explain the absence of visible antimatter in the Universe, providing a powerful new lens for exploring physics beyond the Standard Model.
