Thank you so much for this information.
The conclusion is that EE is a bust, a PhD in Physics is a must, but can a CS bachelor's (alongside a physics one of course) hurt or help me in this research? Am I better off using free time in undergrad to better understand the physics?
So would it be correct to say that the general consensus is: Computer Science leaves more doors open?
So something like a CS master's and Physics PhD? Or a CS Bachelor's and Physics PhD?
How far back can you cut on the CS?
I'm still exploring which field is for me, and to ask which is better would be pointless. So instead I want to know: what exactly is the difference between a Computer Science and Electrical Engineering Dual Major/Degree as opposed to a Computer Engineering Major?
I realize computer engineering...
I'm sorry for the lack of clarity, and thanks for pointing it out. If I wanted to do something around the lines of finding a way to increase the speed of some large database calculation, from which side should I approach the problem? Tackle the hardware or the software?
To what degree should I study each of these fields in order to be prepared for a career in quantum computing R&D?
Electrical Engineering
Computer Science
Physics
I plan to major in all three topics, but with which program(s) should I pursue higher education?
I realize computer engineering is...
