    When situations make it diffcult for students to be physically present in the laboratory, there is a need to provide remote instructional offerings. This is a particularly acute problem in upper-level physics laboratories because they involve the use of sophisticated equipment for the investigation of advanced topics. The possibility of automating such experiences presents itself as a possible solution. In this article I present the offering of an automated quantum optics lab for advanced physics students. I do so by automating the laboratory components via actuators and sensors controlled through serial connections. Live images of the laboratory provide visual inspection of the apparatus and sensors. All of these components are connected to a personal computer that students can control by remote access. The experience provides a new paradigm for experimentation, giving students experience on laboratory work with a remote apparatus at fexible times, making the experiment a form of homework assignment.
