light!waves and particles" are mutually exclusive because they appear independently in different experiments. To elimi- nate this conceptual difficulty we have designed an apparatus in which the particle and wave aspects can first be demon- strated individually. Then the same apparatus is used to vi- sualize the real-time evolution of individual quantum events to a classical wave pattern. The use of the same light source and the same interferometer is important to convince stu- dents that we can investigate the two aspects of light with the same apparatus.

Two-beam interference phenomena are often explained on the basis of Young’s double slit experiment by displaying the well known interference pattern on a distant screen. Al- though this example is well suited for a theoretical discus- sion and most easily realized using a laser pointer and a double slit, it is not practical for advanced demonstration experiments because it does not allow the variation of system parameters in a simple way. In the present experiment we have chosen a Mach-Zehnder interferometer in which a large spatial separation of the two interfering beams can be easily realized, permitting several manipulations, such as the ad- justment of the path length difference and the relative angle of the interfering beams, and, most importantly, the easy blocking of one of the two beams. The macroscopic dimen- sions of the Mach-Zehnder interferometer allow the observer to see all components from the light source via the genera- tion and recombination of the interfering beams up to their detection.

A green laser pointer was chosen as the light source be- cause it has a sufficiently long coherence length for the easy alignment of the interferometer. The intensity of the green beam and its wavelength near the vicinity of the eye’s maxi- mum sensitivity ensure that even expanded interference pat- terns are easily visible in a large auditorium.

Our main design criterion was to have the apparatus as simple and pedagogical as possible while also offering the flexibility to vary certain parameters to illustrate several as-

pects of the phenomena. The equipment is designed for dem- onstrations in a large auditorium. The interferometer is mounted on an aluminum plate tilted by 45°, so that all com- ponents can be easily seen. If necessary, a webcam can be used to project a close-up of the interferometer table. As mentioned, the expanded fringe pattern using the full laser intensity can easily be seen from a distance without addi- tional tools. Individual photon events can be seen as pulses on an oscilloscope, or heard as clicks using audio equipment.

All relevant electronic signals !photomultiplier pulses and photodiode signals" can easily be projected using equipment such as a digital oscilloscope equipped with a video port or a USB-based oscilloscope. Attention was paid to obtain stable pictures and good visibility of all the components and pro- jected signals. Last but not least, we have made an effort to reduce component cost as much as possible, and to give the apparatus a pleasant look.

III. EXPERIMENTAL SETUP

The scheme of the experimental apparatus is shown in Fig.

2 and a photo of its main components in Fig.3. The light source is a 5 mW green!!=537 nm" laser pointer. The bat- teries in the laser pointer were replaced by electrical contacts so that the laser could be driven by an external power supply.

We found that the spectral width of the laser radiation and hence its coherence length depends on the operating voltage and a randomly chosen pointer has its own optimal voltage for the highest fringe contrast. Once set correctly and after a warm-up time of several minutes this voltage gives repro- ducible results on daily basis.

The standard Mach-Zehnder interferometer has two beam splitters and two mirrors !all 1 in. optics" arranged in a 18

"18 cm2square !see Figs.2and3". One of the mirrors is mounted on a low-voltage piezotransducer that allows the voltage-controlled variation of the path length difference

!#5 V per fringe".

And to us it is enough, that gravity does really exist, and act according to the laws which we have

explained, and abundantly serves to account for all the motions of the celestial bodies, and of our sea.”
