UG student quantum industry outlook
Hello all, I’m a third year physics student wondering about careers in quantum technology. For reference I am from Ireland, my current uni offers Msc in Quantum Science and Technology and I’m aware of plenty startups and established companies around Ireland in the quantum computing field. I love physics and I’m seriously motivated to stay in physics for my career.
Basically I’m wondering how to proceed? Is it a good idea to go all in on quantum computing / technologies? I am much more interested in hardware / science over computer science. What should I be trying to do during my bachelors to firstly prepare myself for the work and secondly to maximise employability? Is a phd a better route than the masters? Is maybe trying to go straight into industry (if I can make myself attractive enough to employers) viable? Should I stay in Ireland or are there better prospects further afield?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated thank you
