Planck's constant measurement by Landauer quantization for students laboratories

Abstract

A simple experimental setup for measuring the Planck's constant, using Landauer quantization of the conductance between touching gold wires, is described. It consists of two gold wires with thickness of 0.5 mm and 1.5 cm length, and an operational amplifier. The setup costs less than $30 and can be realized in every teaching laboratory in two weeks. The usage of oscilloscope is required.
