openUC2 QBox - Quantum & Interference 

Discover Quantum Optics Hands-On

The QBox is an expandable experimental kit from openUC2's DISCOVERY Line, specially designed for teaching quantum optics concepts. Based on the proven UC2 modular system, it combines optical precision, modular mechanics and digital control via a pre-installed ESP32S3 module. The QBox enables students and researchers to independently carry out challenging experiments ranging from classical interferometry to quantum technology such as the ODMR experiment.
