This is really fascinating. It would be cool if we had an online group or forum that attempted to brainstorm the simplest/cheapest/(safest?) ways of performing interesting experiments like this that you wouldn’t think you could do at home. I’ve read about a few experiments for determine the speed of light using a microwave that I thought were pretty cool.

A student just now told me about an open source rpi muon detector that can be built at home. That should be added to such a list. I work at Andøya Space.

There's a neat book called "Exploring Quantum Physics through Hands-On Projects" that is well worth a look, for those so inclined.

I just played this online Qubit game that I thought I would put down after a few minutes. Ended up playing for 50 min to finish and actually got a much better sense of how quantum computers work than before.
