Quantum Engineering: Embracing the Future with Cutting-Edge Technology

[tukoshi]

Hello. I am a new member of this forum.
My name's Patrick and I'm 1st year Wrocław University of Science and Technology student.
I decided to study, as in title, quantum engineering, because I think, saying succinctly, everything in the future will be based on quantum technology - AIs, nanobot clouds, cryptology, bionanoengineering(is there even a word like that?), space nanobot mines and a lot of things somehow related to this - probably there are so many possibilites to use that technology that no man on Earth would name them all in these times. Please tell me neither I'm a dreamer nor I'm making a good choice.
Thanks for your advices. :D

Welcome to the PF.

Since you are now at University, do you have a faculty advisor? It is probably a good idea for you to run these questions past him/her. They will be able to guide you to the best set of courses and the best major(s) to pursue to meet your career goals.

We have been doing "quantum engineering" ever since the first solid-state transistor was invented.

That is sort of true. However, I suspect the OP is referring to e.g. the various PhD programs in quantum engineering that have started to appear (at least in Europe).
Examples in the UK include the CDT in Quantum Engineering in Bristol and the CDT in Delivering Quantum Technologies at UCL.
In all of these cases "quantum engineering" mainly refers to technologies that somehow use quantum entanglement and/or superposition (quantum computing, atomic clocks, QKD etc) for "real world" applcations. Hence, it is quite distinct from "classical" device physics such as transistors.
