PhD in Experimental QED: AMO vs Superconductivity?

[|squeezed>]

Hi all

I am looking for a phd in the field of cavity qed - quantum information (experimental). I have read some recent publications in the field from groups working with superconducting qubits and the superconductive approach seems to be more efficient/promising than the optical one. The problem is that i do not know which path i should follow. I am more familiar with AMO physics than Solid State - Superconductivity.

What would you recommend ?

thanks

!The best advice I can give is to reach out to the various research groups working on this topic and get their opinion. This way, you can get a better sense of which approach is best for you based on your knowledge and experience. Additionally, you can also look into funding options that may be available for the research you are interested in, as this could help you decide which path you should take. Good luck!

As a scientist with expertise in experimental QED, I would recommend considering both paths and evaluating which one aligns more with your interests and strengths. While the superconducting approach may currently seem more efficient and promising, it is important to keep in mind that both fields are constantly evolving and there may be breakthroughs in one that could change the landscape. Additionally, it is always valuable to have a diverse skill set and knowledge base, so pursuing a PhD in a different field may provide you with new perspectives and opportunities. Ultimately, the decision should be based on your passion and goals in the field of quantum information. I would also suggest reaching out to experts in both fields and discussing their experiences and thoughts on the current state and future directions of each path. Good luck on your decision!
