Studying Scopes for studying Computing after M.Sc. in Physics

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on a master's student in Physics who is transitioning their focus towards computing, expressing interest in fields like quantum computing and robotics. They seek guidance on how to pursue advanced studies in computing after completing their M.Sc. in Physics, emphasizing a desire to move beyond basic computer science courses. The conversation highlights potential areas of study, including nanotechnology and High Performance Computing (HPC), which are relevant to their background in digital electronics and condensed matter physics. The student acknowledges a lack of extensive knowledge in computer science and seeks recommendations on foundational topics or resources to bridge this gap and enhance their understanding of computing in relation to their physics background.

Hi, I am doing masters in Physics. For few days i am studying a book on microprocessor and it catch my interest. I'm now really curious about the whole world of computing.
I'v decided to study farther on computing (may b quantum computing,robotics,etc) rather than general physics. Please suggest me where to start. What are the fields related to computing that i could study after M.sc. in physics ??.

I know there are streams like computer science but i can't do that as I'm doing m.sc. in physics.
Also there are computer courses but they are not that much useful for higher studies as by saying computing I'm trying to separate it from ' learning some languages or some hardware courses only.'

please help.

What about nanotechnology? What physics are you studying? Because condensed matter has many applications to nanotechnology.
 
I think HPC (High Performance Computing) can be relevant.
 
@physiker_192 : Thanks.

@evankiefl :thanx for rplying, I am doing plane master degree with 'digital electronics' as special paper. I know nanotech is an option but its more focused on solid state or condensed matter as you say. I want somthing more integrated with computing (i.e, study to improve computation).

Guys, See as I am studying physics i'v not that much knowledge of computer science which is a vast field itself. But subjects like the one physiker_192 say (HPC) requires a good knowledge over comp.sc. So tell me where can i start from.
 
TL;DR Summary: I want to do a PhD in applied math but I hate group theory, is this a big problem? Hello, I am a second-year math and physics double major with a minor in data science. I just finished group theory (today actually), and it was my least favorite class in all of university so far. It doesn't interest me, and I am also very bad at it compared to other math courses I have done. The other courses I have done are calculus I-III, ODEs, Linear Algebra, and Prob/Stats. Is it a...
Yesterday, 9/5/2025, when I was surfing, I found an article The Schwarzschild solution contains three problems, which can be easily solved - Journal of King Saud University - Science ABUNDANCE ESTIMATION IN AN ARID ENVIRONMENT https://jksus.org/the-schwarzschild-solution-contains-three-problems-which-can-be-easily-solved/ that has the derivation of a line element as a corrected version of the Schwarzschild solution to Einstein’s field equation.
