Description

Many would agree that the best way to learn physics is to do physics, such as in a research lab setting. This can be difficult in practice, as principal investigators are often working at a frenetic pace to obtain and distribute results of their work.

I will describe our efforts in setting up a funded research laboratory experience for undergraduates: The Quantum Teaching Lab (QTL). In the QTL short term research projects in Atomic and Quantum Optics are performed that are chosen to be suitable for dedicated undergraduates.
