Quantum Optics

Function and Applications

• Build a source for heralded single photons (parametric fluorescence)
• Learn coincidence counting methods to distinguish between classical and non-classical light sources
• Analyze the polarization state of single photons
• Demonstrate that a single photon can interfere with itself (superposition of quantum states)
• Demonstrate the wave-particle duality in the context of the quantum eraser experiment
