Experimental perspectives on the matter-antimatter asymmetry puzzle: developments in electron EDM and antihydrogen experiments

In the search for clues to the matter-antimatter puzzle, experiments with atoms or molecules play a particular role. These systems allow measurements with very high precision, as demonstrated by the unprecedented limits down to ${10}^{-30}$ e.cm on electron EDM using molecular ions, and relative measurements at the level of ${10}^{-12}$ in spectroscopy of antihydrogen atoms. Building on these impressive measurements, new experimental directions offer potentials for drastic improvements. We review here some of the new perspectives in those fields and their associated prospects for new physics searches.
