It's almost April 15 and I am currently choosing between schools that seem to have a perfect inverse correlation between a) correlation between my research interests and the schools (though I am still somewhat undecided at the moment) and b) niceness of location. I can see how a potential experimental graduate student would benefit from having the necessary equipment available for his research but, in general, how closely should a potential adviser's research be to your own interests?
Example:
Professor X studies quantum error correction. At which point on the following list would my interests be too far out to consider him a potential adviser?
1. Quantum Error Correction
2. Quantum Algorithms
3. Decoherence Theory
4. Social Network Theory
5. Condensed Matter Theory
6. Anthropology
