This is a wiki for the Advanced Laboratory course (173.308/608) at Johns Hopkins University in the Department of Physics and Astronomy. The advanced laboratory involves the execution, analysis and presentation of several important measurements which helped form the foundation of modern physics. The wiki is meant to serve as a clearinghouse for information from the instructor and TAs as well as a general forum for course participants.
