AI Thread Summary
A bachelor's degree specifically in Quantum Mechanics is not typically offered; instead, students usually pursue a degree in Physics that includes coursework in Quantum Mechanics. This foundational degree allows for further specialization in graduate studies, such as obtaining a Master's and Ph.D. in Quantum Physics. Graduates with this educational background can pursue careers in either Quantum Mechanics or Quantum Physics, or even work in both fields simultaneously, as the disciplines are closely related. A Physics degree provides the necessary qualifications for research positions and advanced studies in Quantum Mechanics.

is it true that you can have bachelor in (for example) Quantum Mechanics, and then have the M.A and Ph.D in Quantum Physics ? so later you will be able to choose a job that concerns either of what you have studied, in other words, you will be able to either have a job in the Quantum Mechanics field or the Quantum physics field, or even both of them at the same time

I've never heard of any bachelor degree specifically in Quantum Mechanics. I'm fairly sure there are none.

Normally you get your bachelor in Physics and you will most likely have some QM courses along the way (part of your degree). A physics degree is also well qualified if you wish to further study QM in grad school and you can certainly land a research position (working in your field of choice).
 

Thread 'Physics Major Considering Masters in EE -- Need help!'

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...

Thread 'Working for defense company?'

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...
