Course Description | The “Quantum Physics Lab” will give students in the Quantum Science and Technology Masters program hands-on experience in quantum physics and its applications. Students will work in small groups on several distinct experiments through the semester. Each experimental project might last for 3-4 weeks, comprising the steps outlined in the Program below. Initial experimental offerings include: a quantum optics (entangled photon) platform, a Josephson junction experiment, a nitrogen vacancy (NV) center for direct manipulation of quantum states, along with experiments on nuclear magnetic resonance, quantum conductance and the quantum Hall effect. We expect to add additional experiments in the near future. Students will observe and measure fundamental quantum behaviors, reinforcing material they are learning in the Masters lecture courses, while simultaneously being introduced to forefront technology that will be the basis of the second “quantum revolution” that could eventually lead to revolutionary applications in electronics, computing, energy technology and medical devices. Program: 1 x 230 min lab meeting per week (small group work) Background research on selected experiments, and associated physics and instrumentation Data analysis, discussions with instructor and teaching assistants Project writeups and presentations |
