Mid-Ranked and Safety Schools for Quantum Computing (physics or cs oriented)

[97prime]

Hello all,

 

I am in the process of applying to graduate schools for the 2015 spring semester. I feel I am a fairly competitive applicant due to my background but unfortunately not so great with the PGRE and for that reason will definitely need a variety of less competitive schools. I am becoming overwhelmed in the search process for a fitting graduate school. I intend to go into theoretic quantum computing. Focusing on language design, complexity theory, and also theoretical foundations. It has been easy to identify top tier schools with fitting research areas but is restricted to a limited variety in others. The point of this thread is to ask what are mid-range and safety schools which offer diverse quantum information programs. Please feel free to ask questions and any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Best Wishes,

Sam
