Thank you for speaking up for me. I really appreciate it. I just want to ask questions and learn — glad someone saw that.

PF is a different place with higher moderation than most websites. We are passionate about mainstream STEM topics and enjoy discussing papers, provided they have been published in reputable journals.

Bottom line: review our site's global guidelines and avoid personal theories, speculation, and fringe science.

Instead, ask a question. If you're unsure, you can always reach out to a mentor.

Welcome to PF,
Jedi

Thank you again for speaking up, I appreciate it.
I'm stepping back from posting. My questions sit at the edge of wave mechanics and particle physics, and I'm worried I'll connect something to my own work and accidentally cross one of PF's lines
I've had Zenodo downloads from MIT and UMass Boston, opens from Weizmann and LMU Munich. Hoping to hear back from them.
May pop in to read time to time. Don't want to cause problems — never my goal.

Hey @Nerissa -- I sent you a DM with instructions on how to start threads in the technical and schoolwork forums. Hopefully that helps you get started here. Feel free to ask questions if we can help you get started here. :smile:

Hello guys,

I am interested in being a particle physicist in the future, and right now i am majoring in Quantum Technology with a sub major in engineering. There is a second sub major which is quantum computing and communications. I was wondering what sub major would be better for the career i want to pursue? Or if it wouldn't make a big enough difference.
