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 6 experimental setups available:
Entangled photons and Bell's inequality, Optical resonators (HeNe-laser), Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR), Laserspectroscopy of Rubidium, Neutron interferometry, Interference at the double slit using single electrons (new) (Inteference of two photons, Quantum noise)
Manuals can be downloaded from TISS.
Practical course:
Graphical processing of experimental results
Discussion of the experimental results
Error analysis
