Dr. Jens Küchenmeister, Thorlabs Education, “The Quantum Optics Kits”, Caltech, 2024

Abstract: Thorlabs' new Quantum Optics Kit provides an opportunity for students to demonstrate and perform experiments with a true non-classical light source. I will walk through the setup and explain the different experiments that students can perform with the kit and how the kit experimentally addresses some of the typical misconceptions students face when being introduced to quantum optics. Furthermore, I will talk about extensions, such as a 2-bit optical quantum computer, the single photon double slit and polarization-entanglement.

Bio: Dr. Jens Küchenmeister is the leader of Thorlabs‘ Educational Products business unit. After studying physics and maths, he received his Ph.D. from the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Germany where his doctoral thesis focused on the numerical solution of Maxwell’s equations in nanostructured systems. His high motivation for teaching physics, demonstrated by numerous voluntary teaching assignments, led him to Thorlabs, where he has been growing the educational business unit since 2013.
