This laboratory is designed to accompany Physics 2601. The laboratory includes a series of experiments that are part of the foundation of quantum physics. It emphasizes important laboratory skills such as defining a problem and measurement procedure, debugging equipment, and the statistical analysis of data. Laboratory reports emphasize in depth technical communication of measurement and analysis techniques motivated by a solid description of the physical principles involved. This laboratory will give experiences that depend on and motivate the theories discussed in Physics 2601.
