Universities with double-slit experiment?

[QMessenger]

I have read that some universities with strong physics programs have equipment setup for the double-slit experiment in order to occasionally demonstrate to undergraduates and for experimental purposes. Does anyone know which universities these might be in the US and Europe?

AFAIK, we use that setup as an undergraduate lab.

All you need for that is a laser; anyone can do it, including all colleges and universities.

Yea I go to a small university with a small physics department and we do that experiment in our Physics II lab, even though we don't even mention anything about it in lecture.


Sad part is that I actually had to go look at my lab manual to see if we did it >_>. I remember doing a lab on slits but that's about all I remember.

Sadder part is that the lab was about a month or two ago.

I should have been more specific. I mean the capability to emit a single photon, electron, buckyball etc etc and still demonstrate an interference pattern through the slits.
