A QM background would be helpful but it isn't strictly necessary for
an EE degree. I passed a course in solid state physics without a QM
pre-req, and though I have no doubt I would have understood solid state
better with QM, it is possible to get by without. And while I'm in confession
mode, I have an advanced CS degree but no compiler course under my belt. :-o
