QUANTUM EDUKIT
A versatile, compact and affordable toolkit to learn quantum physics in a hands-on way
Building the foundation for tomorrow's technology
Why learn quantum mechanics?
Quantum physics can feel counterintuitive, even Richard Feynman remarked that “nobody understands quantum mechanics.” Yet despite its strange nature, quantum mechanics has been verified again and again through decades of experiments, and today it forms the basis of many emerging technologies.
With rapid progress in quantum computing, sensing, communication, and precision measurement, it is more important than ever that students, educators, and decision-makers understand the fundamentals of quantum physics.
Hands-on platform for teaching quantum science
Quantum Edukit - Learn by doing
To support this growing need, we developed the Quantum Edukit, an educational platform that makes quantum physics tangible and intuitive through real experiments using NV centers in diamond.
The Quantum Edukit focuses on three core learning areas:
Fundamental quantum physics
Learn key concepts such as level quantization, quantum superposition, light–matter interaction, and quantum optical effects and understand their relevance to techniques like spectroscopy and crystallography.
Quantum technologies
Explore how basic quantum principles enable modern applications including quantum sensing, quantum computing, and atomic clocks.
Quantum hardware and experimentation
Build optical setups, optimize quantum system performance, and develop hands-on skills used in real quantum research labs.
Quantum Edukit in action
Quantum experiments
The Quantum Edukit enables a wide range of real quantum experiments using NV centers in diamond. It is designed for universities, training programs, and advanced classrooms that want to teach quantum physics through interactive, lab-grade demonstrations.
With the Quantum Edukit, you can perform experiments like:
• Zeeman effect
• Rabi oscillations
• Ramsey interferometry
• Spin echo
• Single qubit initialization
• Single qubit gates
• Single qubit readout
• Coherence and relaxation times
• Dynamical decoupling
Level splitting in magnetic fields
Quantization of levels and Zeeman effect
The Quantum Edukit lets you explore how the energy of quantum states changes due to Zeeman effect when a magnetic field is applied. The principle of this experiment involves NV centers with spin 1, Optically Detected Magnetic Resonance (ODMR) and transition between different spin states via microwaves, read here how it works!
By sweeping a microwave frequency and measuring fluorescence, you can:
- Observe discrete spin levels via |0⟩↔|±1⟩ transitions
- Visualize Zeeman splitting
- Lift the degeneracy between transitions by appropriately choosing the magnetic field strength and orientation, and observe this effect through multiple ODMR dips
This experiment demonstrates quantization and magnetic-field–dependent level shifts.
Drive coherent oscillations
Rabi oscillations
With the Quantum Edukit, you can drive and observe Rabi oscillations between |0⟩ and |+1⟩ states. This experiment allows you to:
- Perform coherent qubit manipulation
- Measure Rabi frequency and oscillation amplitude as a function of microwave frequency and power
- Observe decoherence effects in real time
Rabi oscillations are a fundamental demonstration of quantum control and a cornerstone of quantum computing and sensing.
