Hi everybody,

let me first briefly introduce myself. I study in France, I did a well known engineering school here in the field of computer science (Télécom ParisTech) and graduated both from Pure mathematics and Theoretical Physics (Ecole Normale Supérieure). I am doing now a PhD at CEA Saclay in Quantum information (measurement of entanglement thanks to entropy, categorical formulation of QM etc), and I intend to apply for a postdoc fellowship at IQI Caltech.

I would be grateful if anyone has some information on this institute, mainly: is it hard to get this postdoc fellowship and what are the "things" you'd better do to enhance your chances for getting it?

Thank you all for your 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...
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...
