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 'Hepth programs in Europe'

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...

Thread 'What are the best A-Level options for someone wanting to do Physics?'

Bit Britain-specific but I was wondering, what's the best path to take for A-Levels out of the following (I know Y10 seems a bit early to be thinking about A-levels, but my choice will impact what I do this year/ in y11) I (almost) definitely want to do physics at University - so keep that in mind... The subjects that I'm almost definitely going to take are Maths, Further Maths and Physics, and I'm taking a fast track programme which means that I'll be taking AS computer science at the end...

Thread 'Should I pursue a masters degree after 4.5 years working in IT?'

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...
