Ask HN: If I taught myself quantum computation, could I get a job in it?

4 points·virgil_disgr4ce··3 comments

I've been working on teaching myself quantum mechanics for a few years and have recently stepped up my game and made some real progress (especially with the help of McMahon's "Quantum Computing Explained").

If I taught myself rigorously enough, could I get a job in the field of quantum computation?

I'd just send an e-mail to people who employ "quantum programmers" - there are groups at Google, IBM and Microsoft, as well as at many universities.

I do know that the industry groups employ engineers as well as more "pure" scientists.

Quants paid really well :)

(but it's not exactly quantum)

Not really a field ...
