معرفی
Enrique (Kiko) Galvez is the Charles A. Dana Professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at Colgate University. Since 1999, he has led a National Science Foundation (NSF)-funded project to develop undergraduate laboratory experiments that demonstrate fundamental aspects of quantum mechanics through single-photon experiments.
- Current implementation of quantum mechanics labs since 2005
- Hosts Alpha Immersions faculty workshops on quantum experiments since 2011
- Develops open-access teaching materials and data acquisition programs
The project focuses on quantum superposition, entanglement, and nonlocality, using spontaneous parametric down-conversion photon sources. Experiments are designed for advanced undergraduate students to engage with counter-intuitive quantum phenomena through hands-on work.
Recent updates include GitHub repository with Matlab programs for photon experiments (last updated September 2024) and bug-fixed software for data acquisition boards.
