>>11781649>Best physics fieldwhat made you think this is anything but a subjective discussion lmao
>>11782010>if you want to be a Prof in academia then high energy stuff is probably the way to go. If you want to teach>taking a career path specifically to be a professorhigh energy is really hard to get into from just physics, and everyone except applied physics generally goes down the professor route or at least has it open to them as they do industry positions. As it stands, people in mathematical physics and *certain* people in TCS have an easier time having their departments justifying research that is useful in high energy
ie, all of mathematical physics, and iirc, a lot of the big quantum information books have been written by complexity theorists. Most "connective work" though still involves physicists
