Computer engineering + quantum mechanics = ?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the intersection of computer engineering and quantum mechanics, particularly for individuals with a background in computer engineering who are interested in pursuing further education in quantum mechanics. The poster, holding a degree in Computer Engineering and currently studying microelectronics, expresses a strong interest in quantum mechanics and seeks guidance on available MSc or PhD programs that combine these fields. They mention quantum computing as a potential area of focus and reference a link to a related forum for additional resources. The conversation highlights the growing relevance of quantum mechanics in technology and the need for interdisciplinary programs that bridge computer engineering and quantum physics.

computer engineering + quantum mechanics = ??

hello everyone. I have a degree in Computer Engineering (5 years) and i am currently pursuing an MSc in microelectronics. There are 2 sub fields in my Msc so i chose the one which had to do with physics. In my Msc i discovered the wonderfull world of quantum mechanics! (sighs). My problem is that from all the physics I've seen the only field i like is quantum mechanics so i can't really start a degree in physics from scratch. Is there an MSc or PHd program in Computer Engineering + Quantum mechanics or something?? Every help is appreciated...

After a year of thought, I decided to adjust my ratio for applying the US/EU(+UK) schools. I mostly focused on the US schools before, but things are getting complex and I found out that Europe is also a good place to study. I found some institutes that have professors with similar interests. But gaining the information is much harder than US schools (like you have to contact professors in advance etc). For your information, I have B.S. in engineering (low GPA: 3.2/4.0) in Asia - one SCI...
I graduated with a BSc in Physics in 2020. Since there were limited opportunities in my country (mostly teaching), I decided to improve my programming skills and began working in IT, first as a software engineer and later as a quality assurance engineer, where I’ve now spent about 3 years. While this career path has provided financial stability, I’ve realized that my excitement and passion aren’t really there, unlike what I felt when studying or doing research in physics. Working in IT...
Hello, I’m an undergraduate student pursuing degrees in both computer science and physics. I was wondering if anyone here has graduated with these degrees and applied to a physics graduate program. I’m curious about how graduate programs evaluated your applications. In addition, if I’m interested in doing research in quantum fields related to materials or computational physics, what kinds of undergraduate research experiences would be most valuable?
