Ask HN: What could a Quantum Physicist do?
1 point by Crystalin on May 25, 2017 | hide | past | favorite | 1 comment
A friend of mine is a Quantum physicist and is looking for a job (in Boston). Universities are missing funds and also doesn't often provide a sane environment.

His knowledge of IT is limited to using linux and scientific programs (little python+R)

In what industry or position could he work for? Maybe training in "Machine learning" ?



Linux, Python and R are great assets for BI and or data viz. He should be learning Javascript for D3 or similar as well as play with a demo of Tableau. Startups love advanced degrees of any sort even Quantum Physics. Helps them make the leap;-)
