Physics About internships related to quantum information science

AI Thread Summary
An undergraduate student in electronics and communication is seeking internships in quantum information, focusing on harnessing quantum entanglement for a project. While receiving positive feedback from professors about the idea, the student faces challenges in securing responses from laboratory professors, who cite a lack of sponsorship for international students. The student inquires about labs or companies that accept undergraduate interns in the field and whether publishing their mechanism would enhance credibility. Suggestions include documenting ideas for intellectual property protection and pursuing internships to gain experience, even if not directly related to their project.

Hi, guys, I am an undergraduate pursuing electronics and communication in her 3rd year. For last few months, I have been trying to obtain internships in the field of quantum information so that I could have more exposure to it. I am already pursuing the subject learning it in bits by bits and doing a project under my university professor. I have been struck with an idea of harnessing quantum entanglement into a device. To the professors, I mentioned that idea they praised it - meaning it is not unrealistic and naive. But when I tried to explain laboratory professors about it I wasn't getting much of a response. Most of them respond saying there aren't enough sponsors for international students. I don't think they even consider this.
Well, my question is what are the labs working in the quantum entanglement that allow undergraduate interns like me. Or are there some companies working in the related field.( I know it is much harder to get an internship in a company than at a lab. )
And should you focus more on publishing the mechanism you are working on in order for them to take you seriously, If yes please guide me on this considering I am a beginner.
Any help is appreciated.

Chegg.com has a sub-site on internships for students at different levels: internships.com . You my want to write down on your ideas, send them to yourself in a sealed envelope (without opening it ) so you can argue the ideas are yours. You may not be able to start working precisely on your idea right away, but maybe you can get an internship and get a foot in the door. Good luck!
 
I don't know if anyone on here works for any of the well known defense companies of your country, whichever country you are from?? Also, if you choose to work in one, do you think the engineering education provide from your school would adequately prepare you for the job. What do I mean by that? Well if you work at say Lockheed Martin and you work in the latest iteration of a missile or if you work at Pratt & Whitney, they assign you to work in the team helping out with building the jet...
Hello, I graduated from undergrad a few years ago with a Major in Physics and minor in Electrical Engineering. I tried to get experience working on and testing circuits through my professor who studied Neutrinos, however covid caused the opportunity to go away and I graduated with no experience or internships. I have attempted to break into the engineering industry with no success. Right now I am considering going for a Masters in Electrical Engineering and I need advice on if this would be...
So lately, my interest in the realm of optics/optoelectronics/photonics engineering has grown and I have started to seriously consider pursuing a career in the field. I have done a bit of career research and also have done some learning on the side to gather more knowledge on these topics. However, I have some questions on what a career in these fields would look like, and I wanted to find out more about this area to know what I would be getting myself into if I did make the choice to pursue...
