Physics Quantum Computing masters with Theoretical physics background

AI Thread Summary
When pursuing a master's in quantum computing with a physics background, key considerations include finding a program with a strong quantum computing group that has both experimental capabilities and industrial connections. It's essential to select a university with a robust theoretical physics department focused on fundamental research. Prospective students should also seek programs that offer good chances for fully-funded scholarships, particularly for international students with solid GRE scores. Additionally, the program's ranking and the potential for transitioning into a theoretical physics PhD or an industrial job in quantum computing are crucial factors. The discussion highlights the importance of specifying geographical preferences for study locations and mentions a summer school opportunity for those already in PhD programs, which may not be applicable for master's candidates.

I want to do a masters related to quantum computing from a physics background and my criteria for the place is:

1. A quantum computing group with experimental realizations and
industrial ties.
2. A strong theoretical physics department with research in fundamental physics
3. A good chance of fully-funded scholarship, given research experience in undergrad and good enough GRE and Physics GRE scores for international students
4. Good enough ranking
5. Prospects for a theoretical physics PhD (academia on scholarship) or pivoting to industrial job if needed.

The thought behind it is that, I have interest in theoretical physics and quantum computing, I must be able to choose academia for theoretical physics or industry making QC upon the completion of masters.

I happened to find an announcement of summer school

which might be of your interest.
"The school is addressed to PhD students in quantum information science, particle physics and condensed matter" I am not a Phd student yet. Haven't even done my masters :( Thanks for sharing tho.

You need to specify where in the world you would be willing to study.
