I have been wondering over a long course of time what I must specialize in during my MS (and possible PhD). I most certainly am not planning to work in a traditional IT company. I need a workplace that will be challenging and I most certainly dont mind a lil' risk.
This news items provided one of those moments when I feel a tingling in me. *http://tinyurl.com/9m6n4w* I am an IT 3rd year student. I know that understanding of quantum physics might be essential for pursuing higher education in Quantum Computing. I am planning to work on algorithm development in QC. My groundwork told me that it was the closest edge to my current line. I have always been interested in algorithms and their analysis. So. Which are the universities that provide quality research in Quantum Sciences? What are the chances of getting into them. If they are not M.S. courses, what will be the qualifying P.G. degree for them? Also, I would like to understand the groundwork i have to do with respect to prepping for this choice of mine. Like what are the Physics books I have to dust out from the library? Is there a place that would provide project options for me to research on during my fourth year thereby being a little more than a student to gazed to the stars and said "I could have been there" I know this is way off topic. But this is the only place where there are diverse people together. I have the best chances of an answer here. :D --- Ashok `ScriptDevil` Gautham P.S. : I noticed there is hardly and research in India through some basic googling. I would be happy to be proven wrong here. _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, email ilugc-requ...@ae.iitm.ac.in with "unsubscribe <password> <address>" in the subject or body of the message. http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
