Kyle Bernard said:First of all welcome! I plan on getting into QC in the future as well! Your question depends on what you want to do IN Quantum Computing. Personally, I want to get in on the hardware side so it's been recommended to try and Major in Physics and Electrical Engineering.
If you want to get into programming them, you'd probably want to get more involved on the mathematics side, along with Physics.
Kyle Bernard said:I understand your thinking there. Most that I have spoken with have said that Quantum Computing in NO WAY = Computer Science. It's a completely different world.
Sure Microsoft is developing their SDK, and IBM has their own as well it seems (I'm sure most places developing are working on their own), but from what I understand most of the basic computer science needs are actually a part of most Physics program curriculum (Usually some sort of C, and MatLab courses). Programming a quantum computer is much more mathematics and quantum physics heavy than CS heavy.I would take everything I'm saying with a grain of salt though, as I'm not really in the industry, just looking to get started at school to get into it. Try emailing researchers are some labs doing what you want to do and get their input as well!
Quantum computing is a type of computing that uses principles of quantum mechanics such as superposition and entanglement to perform operations on data. It has the potential to solve complex problems much faster than classical computers.
Quantum computing focuses on processing and manipulating data using quantum principles, while AI (artificial intelligence) refers to the ability of machines to perform tasks that typically require human intelligence, such as problem-solving and decision-making.
Quantum computing can provide new tools and algorithms for AI, allowing for more efficient and accurate processing of large data sets. It can also help in developing advanced AI systems, such as quantum neural networks, that can handle more complex tasks.
The combination of quantum computing and AI has the potential to revolutionize various industries, such as finance, healthcare, and transportation. It can also lead to advancements in fields like drug discovery, weather forecasting, and cybersecurity.
Currently, quantum computing is still in its early stages and is primarily being developed and used by researchers and large organizations. However, with advancements in technology, it is becoming more accessible, and there are efforts to make it more user-friendly for a wider range of users.
