Which engineering course makes the most use of particles physics ?

as the title says
which engineering course uses particles and quantum mechanics the most ?
i heard about electrical engineering specifically microelectronics like semiconductors and nano electronics
i have also heard about nuclear engineering
but which one makes the most use of quantum mechanics ? even if its one outside the two

Between the two, EE goes more into qm but ee majors don't really learn qm. Actually, the chem eng majors I've known learn a lot more qm, in their physical chemistry classes.

With ee though, research and grad level classes do get more into qm, if you get into solid state electronics.
