Experiment: Anticorrelation parameter for down-converted light (two-detector)

Figure of the experimental setup from the paper by B. J. Pearson and D. P. Jackson, "A hands-on introduction to single photons and quantum mechanics for undergraduates," Am. J. Phys. 78 471 (2010).

Benchmark Data - The results of the first set-up

Data taken at a 40-inch separation between the BBO crystal and A/B dectors.

Down Conversion Anticorrelation: A & B detectors. First table - WITH attenuation (in order to imitate the Dickinson paper). Second table - NO attenuation.

Down Conversion Anticorrelation: A & C detectors. First table - WITH attenuation (in order to imitate the Dickinson paper). Second table - NO attenuation.

For comparison, Down Conversion Anticorrelation: Pearson and Jackson's results:
