Neuroscience/AI/quantum computing

AI Thread Summary
Computational neuroscience, AI, and quantum computing are emerging fields that intersect significantly, presenting new research opportunities. A physics degree is often viewed as advantageous for entering these interdisciplinary areas due to its broad foundational knowledge. Pursuing a PhD in theoretical physics can be beneficial, but to enhance prospects for postdoctoral and faculty positions, candidates should focus on developing strong skills in programming, data analysis, and interdisciplinary collaboration. Engaging in research projects that bridge physics with AI and neuroscience, as well as networking within these fields, can also improve job prospects. Additionally, gaining experience in computer engineering may provide valuable insights and skills relevant to these areas.

I have been reading about physicists that study things like computational neuroscience/AI and quantum computing. It is my understanding that these subjects are very closely linked and form a relatively new and open area of science research. I also have the impression that a physics degree is the most broad and thus best for entering this sort of interdisciplinary and new research. Is this correct?

If I pursue a PhD in theoretical physics, with the goal of studying in this area, is there anything specific that I should do to improve my ability to land postdocs/faculty positions/etc?

Thanks!

Thread 'What major topics are there in arithmetic and what order to learn them?'

TL;DR Summary: What topics to cover to safely say I know arithmetic ? I am learning arithmetic from Indian NCERT textbook. Currently I have finished addition ,substraction of 2 digit numbers and divisions, multiplication of 1 digit numbers. I am moving pretty slowly. Can someone tell me what topics to cover first to build a framework and then go on in detail. I want to learn fast. It has taken me a year now learning arithmetic. I want to speed up. Thanks for the help in advance. (I also...

Thread 'Help with my plan to get into research about bound states'

Hi community My aim is to get into research about atoms, specifically, I want to do experimental research that explores questions like: 1. Why do Gallium/Mercury have low melting points 2. Why are there so many exceptions and inconsistencies when it comes to explaining molecular structures / reaction mechanisms in inorganic and organic chemistry 3. Experimental research about fundamental Quantum Mechanics, such as the one being followed by Hiroshima university that proved that observing...

Thread 'What is computational physics and what is the best way or method to learn computational physics?'

guys i am currently studying in computer science engineering [1st yr]. i was intrested in physics when i was in high school. due to some circumstances i chose computer science engineering degree. so i want to incoporate computer science engineering with physics and i came across computational physics. i am intrested studying it but i dont know where to start. can you guys reccomend me some yt channels or some free courses or some other way to learn the computational physics.
