Physics 415: Advanced quantum lab
The 415 class is an advanced lab class that lets students conduct modern physics experiments. It offers:
- Lots of fun physics
- Hands-on lab experience for the students
- It teaches basic skills needed to take, analyze and process data.
- Scientific writing, poster presentations, lab report writing
