A lot less than that nowadays. I set up a very similar experiment about 3 years ago at my school, based on a series of papers by Mark Beck, now at Reed College in Oregon, US. Here is one of the earlier ones, and it is this experiment I [mostly] duplicated: http://people.reed.edu/~beckm/QM/Hardy/Carlson_ajp.pdf I 3D-printed a lot of the optical hardware, re-purposed older electronics that we had in storage, and the photon detectors have significantly dropped in price. I think all told I got it together for about 8000 USD. The linked paper by Dehlinger and Mitchell is one of the most important papers in conceptually bringing quantum entanglement experiments to nearly any undergraduate physics lab. Mark Beck applied their ideas and nearly single-handedly taught all of us how to actually perform the experiments. (I had the privilege of taking one of his workshops.) |
