I just love these "will you make me an idea for my science project" threads which I don't think I've ever really replied to. So thought I'd make my own.

 

For those of you who don't know I'm a second year undergrad doing a MPhys, specilising in Quantum Science and Lasers.

 

As part of my stage 2 labs I've got to do an "extended" experiment which should last for 5 weeks of 6hour labs/week. My preference is something quantummy, thinking of attempting to do something with entanglement maybe using an interferometer.

 

I was just wondering whether anyone had any interesting experiment ideas, for obviouse reasons I'd rather not have a great deal of detail given, takes the fun away from the planning...

 

General lab equipment is avaliable and other stuff can probably be sourced if I ask people really nicely...

 

Cheers

I remember having done an experiment on "Fourier Optics" in my advanced labs. It only was an ~5 hour experiment but it was a standard one (that is, we didn´t have to care about which lightsource/lenses/... to use and the tasks were given and known to be feasible within that time). It was not really the most exciting or most ambitious experiment I ever did but it was quite nice being able to physically realize and visualize some properties of the Fourier Transformation.

Hi.

Make an instrument to measure the propagation speed of gravity.
