Can I learn quantum physics?
First, learn basic physics (Newtonian mechanics, electromagnetism, etc.), because they are necessary for learning quantum mechanics, then learn some mathematics too (calculus I-III [single and multivariable with differentiation and integration], differential equations [ODEs], linear algebra and Fourier analysis).
How do I get a degree in quantum physics?
If you seek to become a quantum physicist, you have to complete four years of undergraduate training. You also can complete an additional two years of schooling to earn a master’s degree followed by five years of doctoral degree training.
How hard is it to get into quantum computing?
You’ll probably need either a physics, math, or computer science major to apply, and I’d venture to guess that most people interested in quantum computing have at least a minor in another of the three areas, if not a double major. Graduate schools are also pretty competitive in this area, so you’ll need to make high grades in all your classes.
What are the best majors for a career in quantum computing?
There are three different majors or specialisations which can lead to a career in quantum computing. For example, a Physics major can be particularly helpful if he/she is interested in building a quantum computer.
Are there any tech companies working on quantum computing?
In fact, top tech firms working on quantum research like D-Wave, Google and IBM are always looking for experienced physicists who can build the architectures and a lot of research also goes in testing quantum algorithms. Join Our Discord Server. Be part of an engaging online community.
Is it possible to work in aerospace engineering with a quantum computing?
Even if you managed to become an expert in quantum computing while working there, you’d have a lot of trouble not having the same background and language as the other researchers. By comparison, Aerospace engineering is a fairly standard 4-year degree. You don’t need any kind of graduate work to get a job.
