Description
We present two quantitative low-cost experiments aimed at introducing students to quantum physics from a phenomenological point of view. These experiments could be used to discuss quantum measurements and the collapse of the wave-function, analysing the light transmission by 3 polaroids, and using the latter to set-up a quantum eraser. The experiments were tested with master students in mathematics and physics, who aim at becoming high school teachers. Some controversial aspects of how these experiments should be understood in terms of quantum physics will be also discussed.
