After successful completion of the course, students are able to understand quantum-mechanical basic principles and to use laboratory processes to observe them. The experimental results have to be processed and discussed in a scientific way.
There are 7 experimental setups available:
Entangled photons and Bell's inequality, Inteference of two photons, Optical resonators, Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR), Laserspectroscopy of Rubidium, Quantum noise, Neutron interferometry
Manuals can be downloaded from TISS.
Practical course:
Graphical processing of experimental results
Discussion of the experimental results
Error analysis
