Quantum mechanics is one of the most counterintuitive, universal and widely applicable physical theories. However, students find difficulty in grasping the fundamentals of quantum physics generally because they hardly encounter practical demonstrations or direct experiments of quantum physics in their coursework. Even though students may come across investigations in modern physics such as with X-rays, radioactivity and spectroscopy, which have quantum underpinnings, truly quantum behaviour is difficult to experience directly.This book arose from a series of laboratory class experiments develo...
Quantum mechanics is one of the most counterintuitive, universal and widely applicable physical theories. However, students find difficulty in grasping the fundamentals of quantum physics generally because they hardly encounter practical demonstrations or direct experiments of quantum physics in their coursework. Even though students may come across investigations in modern physics such as with X-rays, radioactivity and spectroscopy, which have quantum underpinnings, truly quantum behaviour is difficult to experience directly.
This book arose from a series of laboratory class experiments developed by the authors and it provides an overview of fundamental experiments that can be used to practically demonstrate the underlying principles of quantum physics and quantum information science. These experiments use the polarization of a single photon as the basic unit of quantum information. Subsequently, the quantum information is measured in an elaborate series of optical experiments. It is designed with multiple readerships in mind. It is valuable for the laboratory developer or the professor who would like to recreate a similar suite of experiments for their students. It is also suitable for a student of physics, who would like to learn how such experiments are conducted and would like to explore experimental verifications of theoretical knowledge. Computer scientists, photonics engineers and electrical engineers who would like to foray into quantum technologies would also find this narrative useful to learn about the terminology, key postulates of quantum physics, the collapse of states on measurement and how quantum computers could be implemented. It is not a lab manual, rather a primer, giving the reader the creative license to build up these experiments bottom-up if they desire and have the resources to do so.
