Hello!
I'm an undergraduate in physics engineering student who's thinking about his future. I would like to work in the field of quantum cryptography or communication with light, or -more or less- to do the same kind of research as Anton Zeilinger.

Which kind of MSc and PhD should I take and what are the prospectives in that field?

Thread 'Physics Major Considering Masters in EE -- Need 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...
