AI Thread Summary
PhD advisors in Quantum Information Theory typically look for candidates with a strong foundation in both theoretical concepts and relevant mathematical skills. A solid understanding of quantum mechanics, algorithms, and fundamental physics is essential. Candidates should also demonstrate familiarity with current research trends in the field, which may include topics like quantum algorithms or information processing. Engaging in independent research projects, participating in relevant coursework, and developing programming skills can enhance a candidate's profile. Advisors value candidates who show initiative and a genuine passion for advancing knowledge in Quantum Information Theory.

To elaborate, are they looking for a specific last year thesis for example? I'm reading a four year physics MSci.

You need to be more specific.

What kind of "quantum information"? Experimental (and if so which field? Optics, solid-state, ions, spins etc) or theoretical (same here algorithms, more fundamental physics etc)?
 
Sorry, to specify I mean theoretical- Quantum Information Theory.
 
I didn't understand your question. I am interested because I, too, like this field.
 
My question is: What do PhD advisors look for in candidates that want to study Quantum Information Theory? I ask this so I can know what to focus my spare time studies on.
 

Thread 'Self Learning Math/Physics'

Hey, I am Andreas from Germany. I am currently 35 years old and I want to relearn math and physics. This is not one of these regular questions when it comes to this matter. So... I am very realistic about it. I know that there are severe contraints when it comes to selfstudy compared to a regular school and/or university (structure, peers, teachers, learning groups, tests, access to papers and so on) . I will never get a job in this field and I will never be taken serious by "real"...

Thread 'What should I do if I found a paper with same result as mine?'

Yesterday, 9/5/2025, when I was surfing, I found an article The Schwarzschild solution contains three problems, which can be easily solved - Journal of King Saud University - Science ABUNDANCE ESTIMATION IN AN ARID ENVIRONMENT https://jksus.org/the-schwarzschild-solution-contains-three-problems-which-can-be-easily-solved/ that has the derivation of a line element as a corrected version of the Schwarzschild solution to Einstein’s field equation. This article's date received is 2022-11-15...
