Getting into engineering for quantum computing hardware and physics

No.12990900 ViewReplyOriginalReport
I'm a math and CS double major who has done some theory work in quantum information and computing, largely on error correction and some stuff on tomography. I'm planning on doing either math or CS grad school, but recently I got interested in superconducting qubits and continuous variable computing.

Are there any groups in CS and math working on these areas? How would I, a theory aligned student, be able to break into the more experimental side? Is there a way for theorists to work on the engineering side of quantum computing? Are there people on the CS side who do stuff like this? I know Aaronson did BosonSampling, which took a nontrivial amount of background in quantum optics and complexity theory.
