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.
 
I'm going to make this one quick since I have little time. Background: Throughout my life I have always done good in Math. I almost always received 90%+, and received easily upwards of 95% when I took normal-level HS Math courses. When I took Grade 9 "De-Streamed" Math (All students must take "De-Streamed" in Canada), I initially had 98% until I got very sick and my mark had dropped to 95%. The Physics teachers and Math teachers talked about me as if I were some sort of genius. Then, an...
Bit Britain-specific but I was wondering, what's the best path to take for A-Levels out of the following (I know Y10 seems a bit early to be thinking about A-levels, but my choice will impact what I do this year/ in y11) I (almost) definitely want to do physics at University - so keep that in mind... The subjects that I'm almost definitely going to take are Maths, Further Maths and Physics, and I'm taking a fast track programme which means that I'll be taking AS computer science at the end...
After a year of thought, I decided to adjust my ratio for applying the US/EU(+UK) schools. I mostly focused on the US schools before, but things are getting complex and I found out that Europe is also a good place to study. I found some institutes that have professors with similar interests. But gaining the information is much harder than US schools (like you have to contact professors in advance etc). For your information, I have B.S. in engineering (low GPA: 3.2/4.0) in Asia - one SCI...
