W28: Quantum Optics Kit |
| Abstract: |
We present our new quantum optics kit where a non-linear crystal generates pairs of photons. In the kit, a variety of experiments can be performed: demonstrate that an attenuated laser is not a single-photon source, measure the 2nd order auto-correlation of the pairs to verify that they constitute a non-classical light source, observe single photon behavior at a polarizer, set up a single photon interferometer and perform the quantum eraser experiment. The setup stays away from black boxes and all elements can be individually adjusted. This allows for a realistic lab experience and future extensions. In the workshop, we explain the setup, demonstrate the measurements and exemplify the comprehensive alignment procedure which allows students to reliably find and return to a good alignment. |
