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?
