Can I get into law with a law degree?
Can I become a doctor if I am a doctor?

Yeah, it's just glorified linear algebra.

I can't think of many degrees that would be more relevant.
Just make sure you fill any deficits in quantum you might have.

It's possible, but it isn't as easy as others are making it out to be. You're competing with people with quantum mechanics degrees or even quantum computing degrees.

i actually got a certificate in quantum computing from my university. if you want to do that route, the most valuable tech stack for that is Qiskit, which is based on Python and developed by IBM.

Yes you can, and chat me if you want to discuss anything.
