Task 1 Produce a histogram of # of counts in a fixed time interval, fit it to a gaussian and use the reduced ChiSq to show that the data are consistent with random events. text/html 2023-07-21T14:38:26+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://physlab-wiki.com/phylabs/lab_courses/phys-211-wiki-home/single-photon-studies/sample_data?rev=1689964706&do=diff Sample data and analysis done by MCC.

Teaching Goals MCC Data Collected 071723 Task 1 - Underlying Assumptions Underlying assumption in most of what follows is that events recorded by the detector arrive at random with a well defined average rate and can be described by Poisson statistics. text/html 2023-07-05T15:25:06+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://physlab-wiki.com/phylabs/lab_courses/phys-211-wiki-home/single-photon-studies/teaching-goals?rev=1688585106&do=diff Teaching Goals for Single Photon Studies In this lab you will perform several short experiments to investigate some uniquely quantum mechanical phenomena related to the photon. In the process you will learn: * How to perform coincidence measurements.
