ECE student starting toward quantum hardware — what should I learn first?

I'm an ECE student in India currently preparing for GATE. My long-term goal is to eventually work toward quantum hardware and, hopefully, start a company in the space. I'm starting from the fundamentals: VLSI, semiconductor devices, chip design and eventually quantum computing/hardware. I'm still very early, so I'd really appreciate advice from people working or studying in quantum hardware: If you were starting from an ECE background, what would you prioritize learning first? In particular, I'm interested in understanding which areas of electronics/VLSI are most useful for eventually moving toward quantum hardware. submitted by /u/Wooden-Farm-7641 [link] [comments]
