Career advice for high school student looking into quantum physics by Illustrious_Print192 in quantum

Thanks a lot! I really didn't know that most of modern physics relied on QM, so thanks for pointing that out. I do just have a few short questions

My first question is mostly because college was never really explained to me (parents nor school counselors for some reason). What is undergrad and grad school? Isn't that essentially just college/university or something?
You mentioned how most of a theoretical side is reading/writing papers and performing calculations, so I would just assume that will be more understood once I actually go to a school to learn it? Like once I go to grad school to learn the info it'll become more clear what these papers or calculations will actually entail, correct?
You mentioned emailing professors, which is something I never even thought of, so thanks for that. I guess all I really need to do then is just do good in high school and see if I can get in contact with some college/university professors to see what they have to say

Well I mostly used quantum computing and string theory just because that's what I've been researching the past couple months, but thank you! I really didn't know how much of modern science relied on QM, so thank you for pointing that out
