Andrew Jayich, Ph.D.

I am an associate professor at UC Santa Barbara in the Department of Physics. With trapped atomic and molecular ions I study fundamental symmetries as well as explore new opportunities for optical clocks and quantum information science.

I received my bachelor’s degree from Harvard University and my Ph.D. from Yale University, advised by Jack Harris. Following my Ph.D. I did a postdoc for Wes Campbell, where we laser cooled and trapped atoms with an optical frequency comb.
