If I applied to graduate schools for quantum computing (as a physics major), how easy would it be to switch to some other area in quantum mechanics, solid state, or optics? In particular, how easy is it to change both during and after graduate school, as a grad student and as a post-doc, perhaps?
I go to a small school with no professors specializing in quantum computing, and no graduate physics program - therefore I am basing this decision on online articles and videos for the most part. I'd like to be able to switch if it turns out that going into quantum computing wasn't such a good idea.
Right now it's still a little early in the game for me (I'm starting my 3rd year in the fall), but I still would like to know how this sort of thing works.
