Does anyone know the full specs for those pump argon lasers used in the quantum eraser experiments? We're can I buy a used one?

Also, is there a good place to buy the other equipment (lenses, crystals, etc) needed to perform the experiment?

thanks!

Welcome to PhysicsForums, luxor99!

Not sure if this will help, but it might help to look at the parts used for a Bell test (since a lot of the components will be the same):

See Appendix C.

Look up the SciAm article "A Do-It-Yourself Quantum Eraser".
 
DrChinese, thanks, that's exactly what I was looking for !
 
I am not sure if this belongs in the biology section, but it appears more of a quantum physics question. Mike Wiest, Associate Professor of Neuroscience at Wellesley College in the US. In 2024 he published the results of an experiment on anaesthesia which purported to point to a role of quantum processes in consciousness; here is a popular exposition: https://neurosciencenews.com/quantum-process-consciousness-27624/ As my expertise in neuroscience doesn't reach up to an ant's ear...

This is still a great mystery, Einstein called it ""spooky action at a distance" But science and mathematics are full of concepts which at first cause great bafflement but in due course are just accepted. In the case of Quantum Mechanics this gave rise to the saying "Shut up and calculate". In other words, don't try to "understand it" just accept that the mathematics works. The square root of minus one is another example - it does not exist and yet electrical engineers use it to do...
