HI guys, I'll be gone from 11/19/2025 - 11/30/2025 and I won't be able to be online at all. Watch the video to find out what I'm doing for those days.

I’m an undergraduate engineering student deciding between Electrical Engineering (EE) and Computer Engineering (CE) with long‑term interest in quantum technologies. What I enjoy most lab experiments, tuning parameters, and writing my own analysis/visualization code. My dilemma is that EE seems essential for quantum hardware (analog/RF, devices, control). However, CE seems to offer more “ready‑for‑market” skills (systems, security, networking, robotics) in case I don’t land a quantum role immediately. Access to internships is limited where I live, so I’m weighing foundation vs employability. I’ve listed the course plans below (sanitized):– EE core: circuits, signals/systems, electromagnetics, analog/mixed‑signal, control, devices/semiconductors, RF/microwave, lab.– CE core: computer architecture, OS, networks, embedded systems, digital design/HDL, security, algorithms, lab. My question is give all these factors and for someone who loves hands‑on lab work and coding for experiments, which path would you prioritize? What electives/minors would best keep both doors open (quantum hardware and broader industry)?

Building the future

DePaul’s new lab I just got access to @Jamie Gill thank you for reminding me

Currently at UW-Madison full-time Sorry for not doing this first. I’m not the greatest at sequential algorithms. One. I obtained a bachelors degree from UW-Milwaukee in 2018 as a committee interdisciplinary major in “quantum computing & geospatial intelligence” which is a combination of physics, chemistry, and geography. Since obtaining my degree, I’ve done coursework at UW-Madison, Stanford, CU-Boulder, and UW-Milwaukee. I also do workshops and conferences at many other universities and institutions such as the Simons Institute and KITP. Perhaps since there was big news today, I will mention this. I don’t plan on winning a Nobel Prize, but circa ten years ago, I did promise an Apple Store employee (this was his idea, not mine) if I did, I would mention Apple at the beginning of my Nobel lecture in return for a $100 discount I negotiated when purchasing an iPod Touch (which I mentioned I used to voraciously pour through lectures on iTunesU). Two: I have never applied for a job or worked in the quantum industry, so I suppose that would be a challenge. Also, it’s been several years since I wrote up a resume. The last few jobs I had someone else wrote up a resume for me (jobs in manufacturing, unrelated to quantum). I would encapsulate these challenges as reluctance. Another challenge is envisioning a sustainable business model for this endeavor which leads me to attend events in interesting places within my travel budget. I’m currently on a ✈️ to Palm Beach for tomorrow after a day in NYC today and a day in Palos Verdes, CA, will follow the day after tomorrow. I go where I can investigate how this all fits together. As for challenges learning, that is very much related which is why my wavefunction is so highly delocalized. I can elaborate further at a different time. Three.
