Programs Where can I find top research opportunities for studying quantum information?

AI Thread Summary
Top research opportunities for studying quantum information include the Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC) at the University of Waterloo, which boasts prominent researchers and significant funding. The University of Waterloo has recently launched a new quantum information program, making it an attractive option. MIT is also recognized as a leading institution in this field. Other notable mentions include the University of Vienna, led by Anton Zeilinger, and the Centre for Quantum Technologies at the National University of Singapore. For theoretical research, consider Peter Zoller's group at the University of Innsbruck or Juan Ignacio Cirac's group at the Max Planck Institute for Quantum Optics.

What is the best place to do a PhD in quantum information?

I want to do research on quantum entanglement and quantum teleportation.

Hey,

I'm totally biased, but you might want to check out the http://iqc.uwaterloo.ca/" . There are tonnes of big quantum info names there, like Ray Laflamme, Michelle Mosca, Frank Wilhelm, David Cory, Richard Cleve, etc. Not to mention the Canadian government and Mike Lazaridis are pumping money into IQC. The University of Waterloo (with which IQC is affiliated) just created a new quantum information program. I don't know much of the specifics, but it's probably a good start.

Obviously, MIT is another good place, but I think that goes without saying.

What about the quantum optics, quantum nanophysics and quantum information group of the University of Vienna? led by Anton Zeilinger.

Sadly, I personally cannot give you any more detail than that. I'm a member of IQC but my work isn't with information theory. Hopefully someone else is knowledgeable.
 
theory or experiment?

Anton Zeilinger is an experimentalist. If you are more interested in the theoretical aspect, you should check out Peter Zoller's group at the University of Innsbruck.

You might also be interested in joining Juan Ignacio Cirac's group at the Max Planck Institute for Quantum Optics in Garching, Muenchen. Here's a link:

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...
I’ve been looking through the curricula of several European theoretical/mathematical physics MSc programs (ETH, Oxford, Cambridge, LMU, ENS Paris, etc), and I’m struck by how little emphasis they place on advanced fundamental courses. Nearly everything seems to be research-adjacent: string theory, quantum field theory, quantum optics, cosmology, soft matter physics, black hole radiation, etc. What I don’t see are the kinds of “second-pass fundamentals” I was hoping for, things like...
