Description
Quantum optics is an emerging field of physics, and an increasing number of applications is expected in the future. Thus, the need for education in this field is essential, while remaining challenging. Especially experimental setups using single-photon experiments are still beyond reach for any school, due to costs and technical difficulties. A promising approach seems to be using cheap, easy-to-use and modular experimental kits for school that allow for wave optical experiments as an analogy for quantum optics. In this Workshop we will present a low-cost experimental setup, that can be build using 3D printing.
