I'm a Ph.D student in physics, recently switched from theoretical work to experimental. It's been a good change so far; the equipment I've broken has been cheap and easily repaired. My lab is working on one particular road to instantiating qubits (there are tons of different suggestions about how to do this on the table, all of which have their own bucket of problems.) It will be a very long time before anything resembling a quantum computer exists, but there is some pretty interesting physics along the way.
