    Both Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) and Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) are good choices for studying quantum computing after engineering. ECE is more hardware-oriented, while CSE is more software-oriented. If you are interested in working on the hardware side of quantum computing, then ECE is a good choice. If you are interested in working on the software side of quantum computing, then CSE is a good choice.

    Here is a table that summarizes the pros and cons of each engineering branch for studying quantum computing:

    Engineering BranchProsCons
    Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE)* More hardware-oriented, which is important for quantum computing hardware. * More hands-on experience with electronics and circuits. * More exposure to physics, which is important for understanding quantum mechanics.* Less software-oriented, which could be a disadvantage if you want to work on the software side of quantum computing. * More difficult to get into ECE programs than CSE programs.
    Computer Science and Engineering (CSE)* More software-oriented, which is important for quantum computing software. * More exposure to algorithms and data structures, which are important for quantum computing algorithms. * More opportunities for internships and jobs in the tech industry, which could be helpful for getting a job in quantum computing.* Less hardware-oriented, which could be a disadvantage if you want to work on the hardware side of quantum computing. * Less exposure to physics, which could be a disadvantage if you want to understand quantum mechanics.

    If you want to study quantum computing after your engineering, then you should choose either ECE or CSE. Both of these branches will give you the foundation you need to understand the principles of quantum computing.

    ECE (Electrical and Computer Engineering) is a more hardware-oriented branch, while CSE (Computer Science and Engineering) is more software-oriented. If you are interested in working on the hardware side of quantum computing, then ECE is a good choice. If you are interested in working on the software side of quantum computing, then CSE is a good choice.

    However, it is important to note that quantum computing is a rapidly evo
