Abstract

Quantum optics laboratories are emerging as suitable educational platforms to complement quantum mechanics instruction and expose students to non-traditional demonstrations of quantum physics involving quantum superposition and measurement. The automation of these experiments offers an interesting alternative paradigm. In this contribution, I present the automation of laboratory experiments through motorized mounts that displace or rotate optical components, enabling remote execution of the experiments. Some additional benefits include improved repeatability and better preparation of photonic quantum states.
