Probably. There are lots of things that have to do with quantum physics in the US air force. So i would classify that as a definite yes! Also you can always have a career after or in between when you are done with being in the air force. 8-)

It's not so much that the degree matters. It's just that you have a degree.
For instance, my platoon commander majored in classic literature.

I really do hate his guts though. Just because you have a major in something does not mean that you can effectively command an infantry platoon. DO YOU HEAR ME, LIEUTENANT URBAN? YOU SUCK!

probably be of zero use whatsoever.

 last year the AF did NOT hold any selection boards for Non Rated jobs.. so if you were not interested in becoming a Pilot, you had no opportunity to seek a commission.   this year does not look any different.  

what your degree is in means nothing if you enlist other than getting you E3.

You could still be an officer and get any job you wanted if you are fit and have leadership experience.

But i'd say use your degree and get a job with NASA instead.  Then you'll actually get to use your degree!
