| Abstract | We will cover experimental issues in making measurements in modern physics experiments. The primary challenge in any measurement is achieving good signal to noise. We will cover areas such as optical propagation, electronics, noise limits and feedback control. Methods for stabilizing frequencies and intensities of laser systems will also be described. | ||||
| Learning objective | I aim to give an in depth understanding of experimental issues for students wishing to work on experimental science. The methods covered are widely applicable in modern physics, since light and electronics are the primary methods by which measurements are made across the field. | ||||
| Content | The course will cover a number of different areas of experimental physics, including Optical elements and propagation Electronics and Electronic Noise Optical Detection Control Theory Examples from a modern quantum information laboratory will be discussed and illustrated through active devices in the lecture. | ||||
