Yes, if you want to specialize in semiconductor and solid-state physics, or photonics. In universities where these specialites are taught, some graduate courses in EE are identical with the same level of Physics course, and both deal with applied QM.

It would come closer to fitting into an Electronics Engineering curriculum than Electrical Engineering. Electrica focuses more on the power distribution end of the field, and has very little in common with Electronics. Quantum theory has long been a part of the electronics field, but mostly in masters ans doctorate courses.

Yes, As an electrical engineer quantum mechanics gives you the foundation knowledge on the principles behind semiconductors. I had to study a composite maths and quantum mechanics subject for my engineering degree.

It's be a stretch. Usually electrical engineering focuses on basic electronics, like voltage, resistance, current, etc. Quantum physics is more about the properties, locations, and probability of electrons themselves. Quantum physics is rarely, if ever used in common electrical applications.

electric powered engineering is a container of engineering that many times deals with the study and alertness of electrical energy, electronics and electromagnetism. the sector first grew to grow to be an identifiable profession in the late nineteenth century after commercialization of the electrical powered telegraph and electric powered capacity furnish. It now covers a sort of subtopics consisting of capacity, electronics, administration structures, sign processing and telecommunications.

You will surely need to know enough about quantum mechanics to be comfortable in order to do well in EE. Example might be light being waves and behaving like waves or being particles like photons and behaving like particles. Either math model works and has applications.
