我们描述了五个量子力学实验，已被设计为本科设置。实验使用参数下转换产生的相关光子在干涉仪中产生干涉图样。光子被单独计数。实验结果说明了多路径，不可分割性和纠缠的后果。我们分析的结果定量结合平面波概率振幅根据费曼的规则，状态矢量形式主义，和振幅包。该装置安装在一个2′×4′的光学实验板上，我们描述了为本科生设计的五个量子力学实验。实验使用参数下转换产生的相关光子在干涉仪中产生干涉图样。光子被单独计数。实验结果说明了多路径，不可分割性和纠缠的后果。我们分析的结果定量结合平面波概率振幅根据费曼的规则，状态矢量形式主义，和振幅包。该装置安装在2“×4”光学试验板上。
We describe five quantum mechanics experiments that have been designed for an undergraduate setting. The experiments use correlated photons produced by parametric down conversion to generate interference patterns in interferometers. The photons are counted individually. The experimental results illustrate the consequences of multiple paths, indistinguishability, and entanglement. We analyze the results quantitatively using plane-wave probability amplitudes combined according to Feynman’s rules, the state-vector formalism, and amplitude packets. The apparatus fits on a 2′×4′ optical breadboard.We describe five quantum mechanics experiments that have been designed for an undergraduate setting.
