I am really inspired to learn more about quantum computing, but I am still early in my Electrical Engineering program and have not taken many major-specific courses yet. Obviously, I am grateful to be part of this community for guidance, but I want to understand what the best path forward looks like from here.
Should I try to get involved in a research lab on campus, or focus on finding online courses that build quantum foundations? It seems like a lot of internships expect you to already have quantum skills, which makes it hard to know where to start when those skills are exactly what I am trying to learn.
For those who were in a similar position early on, what did you do to start building experience and credibility in this field? Any specific resources, projects, or programs you would recommend?
