Physics (13). This project is an interdisciplinary Quantum Optics Laboratory for the Science/Engineering Undergraduate Curriculum. It leverages the resources of current teaching laboratories of the Institute of Optics, Department of Physics & Astronomy, and the Center for Quantum Information. It creates experiments and supporting materials that help students better understand the superposition, interference, wave-particle duality, and nonlocality principle in quantum mechanics. It provides a modern view using the instrumentation of quantum-information technology. Major teaching experiments include (1) entanglement and Bell's inequalities; (2) single-photon interference; and (3) single-photon source. Photonic based quantum computing, quantum cryptography, and quantum teleportation are outlined in the course text-books as possible applications of photonic quantum mechanics. The project includes faculty from a community college that provides a two-year degree program for training technicians to work in the optical industry. Both formative and summative evaluation methods are used in project assessment with evaluation coordinated by a faculty member of the graduate School of Education. Intellectual merit: The project addresses one of the most challenging concepts of modern physics in science and engineering education that is now being applied to important technological problems and familiarizes the future workforce with these new ideas as well as provides them with hands-on experience in photon-counting instrumentation currently widely used in many technological areas. Broader impact: The project directly impacts a group of students with diverse backgrounds and is disseminated with similar course instructors from other universities, in educational journals, by student publication and presentations, an interactive workshop, and a book on quantum-optics teaching experiments.

物理学（13）.该项目是一个跨学科的量子光学实验室的科学/工程本科课程。它利用了光学研究所，物理天文学系和量子信息中心的现有教学实验室的资源。它创建实验和辅助材料，帮助学生更好地理解叠加，干涉，波粒二象性和量子力学中的非定域性原理。它提供了一个现代的观点，使用量子信息技术的仪器。主要教学实验包括：（1）纠缠和贝尔不等式;（2）单光子干涉;（3）单光子源。基于光子的量子计算、量子密码学和量子隐形传态在课程教科书中被概述为光子量子力学的可能应用。该项目包括来自社区学院的教师，该学院提供为期两年的学位课程，培训技术人员在光学行业工作。形成性和总结性评估方法都用于项目评估，评估由教育研究生院的一名教师协调。智力优点：该项目解决了现代物理学在科学和工程教育中最具挑战性的概念之一，现在正在应用于重要的技术问题，并使未来的劳动力熟悉这些新思想，并为他们提供目前广泛用于许多技术领域的光子计数仪器的实践经验。更广泛的影响：该项目直接影响了一群具有不同背景的学生，并与来自其他大学的类似课程教师一起传播，在教育期刊上，通过学生出版物和演示文稿，互动研讨会和一本关于量子光学教学实验的书。
