That depends on you and your interests! From the very beginning and up through the present, the majority of people in quantum computing have goten there via physics. But my own background is in theoretical computer science---I've only gradually picked up little bits of physics through osmosis (what's a boson, what's a Hamiltonian, etc. :-) ) and there are still embarrassing gaps in my knowledge. And computer scientists and mathematicians, such as Peter Shor, Gilles Brassard, Umesh Vazirani, and Dorit Aharonov, have clearly made crucial contributions to the field, and we plan to continue doing so! By now, there are large interdisciplinary programs in quantum information science (at Waterloo, Caltech, MIT, Maryland, Berkeley, CWI Amsterdam, Singapore, Oxford, and elsewhere), as well as smaller programs like the one we've been building at UT Austin -- where in some sense, the work of blending math, CS, and physics into the smoothie of quantum information science has already been done. So one obvious option for a student interested in this field would be to seek out one of those programs -- they typically have courses and research opportunities even at the undergraduate level.
