Quantenkoffer®
qutools
The Quantenkoffer is a portable and user-friendly quantum photonics laboratory for a multitude of experiments from 100 years of quantum physics.The key feature is its flexibility with regard to generation and detection of visible laser light, single photons and even entangled pairs. Its optical elements, mechanical components and digital circuits are integrated in order to cover a range of experiments and topics of quantum physics as wide as possible.
Key Features
• Source for single photons and entangled photon pairs• Motorized adjustment
• Single photon detectors
• Picosecond time resolution
• Variety of optical tokens
• Intuitive operation
• Mobile, robust and safe
Experiments
The Quantenkoffer and its modular design offer different approaches. You can choose to follow ideas and well-known experiments from 100 years of quantum physics, or you can use its intuitive software and design experiments from scratch.Single Photon Experiments without Interference
