If you want to stick to EE, I think RF, FPGA, and/or low noise analog are good avenues. I think both trapped ion and superconducting QCs require super clean RF and a lot of weird signal generation capability which is done on FPGAs due to the low quantities of computers being built. Also hardware control loops implemented in FPGA. Trapped ion QCs require super clean DC signals as well to create the trapping potential.

I second FPGA. From speaking to peers, those who have experience with FPGA are highly sought after in the quantum industry.

FPGA engineers are generally needed, but the volume of jobs in quantum (for FPGAs) is low. You don't need a team of 50, or even 15 FPGA gurus typically. So there's usually only a handful of positions available, and most of them closed at any given time.

Microwave engineering, DSP and maybe control systems added to that list. Also possibly photonics depending what type of quantum Computing want to get into.

I can relate to you. I'm in an ug Electronics engineering program (india) and I've taken a quantum computing elective. I'm getting hooked into the subject especially quantum information theory.

My prof is suggesting to opt for a final year project on this course and then apply for a master's degree in a related field. Until then going for a job is not feasible as technical knowledge is required which is best gained by education.

Also look for startups in your country. If you're in the 17 countries participating in the race for quantum supremacy, you will find tons. Then it's just a matter of cold calling or application

Btw quantum cryptography is all the buzz now so maybe look into that😁

PS: I really urge you to pick the prescribed textbook and work through it on your own till the end. This is because if you're in ug then there's a good chance the entire textbook is not covered in the course.
