| Description | |
Hamid Suleman, a shophomore student started his work from Michelson Interferometer, an existing experiment in the advance physics laboratory. Hamid then built a Mach-Zehnder interferometer and verified the cosine squared dependence of intensity, measured the refractive index of a piece of glass inserted in one arm of the interferometer, observed and recorded the effects of obtaining which way information and concluded that any attempt to extract which way information destroyed the interference pattern. This is the classic version of a strange quantum phenomenon called quantum erasure.Outcome: Experiment for the advanced physics lab and pedagogical article.
