Though quantum mechanics is often associated with science and technology of the future, significant progress is being made in fascinating areas such as quantum teleportation and quantum computing. Applications such as these can increase the speed and capacity of current technologies and may pave the way for future technologies. Some quantum physics theories focus on a "non-physical" connection between atoms or photons, which is often referred to as quantum entanglement. Although quantum entanglement was once confined to a select few advanced research labs, recent advances in technology have now made it possible to explore entanglement in an undergraduate lab setting. This experiment will be exploring the use of quantum mechanics and entanglement to find patterns ofquantum interference. These effects are of interest on their own because of the persistent search for further knowledge about the workings of quantum mechanics.

Quantum computing represents one of the most profound technological and intellectual advances of the twenty-first century. Rooted in the principles of quantum mechanics and enriched by developments in computer science, mathematics, and engineering, quantum computing offers fundamentally new ways of processing information. By exploiting phenomena such as superposition, entanglement, and quantum interference, quantum computers promise to solve certain classes of problems that remain intractable for even the most powerful classical machines.
