Felicitations to all. I started work as a physics technician in 1968. My qualification then were distinctions in radio, mechanics, electronics. I worked at what is now the university of Gloucestershire in the UK for thirty years. My skills now include sports science / mechanics. Kinematics, radio and optical astronomy, a moderate knowledge of forensic ballistics, radio communication and lasers. Most but not all skills were self taught. I'm currently working as a physics technician in a local school in Gloucestershire and to this day loving every minute of it. Life goes on... Looking forward to some constructive conversations on this forum.

I’m a retired ex physicist I guess. Although I have a first degree in theoretical physics and did post graduate studies ( structural phase transitions in strontium Titanate, I did not pursue a career in physics. However it has always been my first love. Since retiring I’ve been interested in quantum computing and quantum mechanics
