I know there is a similar question before on a similar topic. My case is a bit different. I'm currently a student in college. Previously, I had research experience in quantum computing for a few months, and then I lost interest and switched to Machine Learning for around 8 months already. Recently, I got accepted on an internship as part of a prize in a competition, and there was no information what team I would be in when I received my acceptance letter. Today, via personal email, I just got informed that I will be working in a Quantum Computing group. Actually, this is a very big company that has groups working on both Machine Learning and Quantum Computing. I would like to change to a Machine Learning group because that more aligns with my current interest. I have no idea why I got allocated into a Quantum Computing team. That may be because I've used the company software for my quantum computing research. So, my questions are:
- Is it possible for me at this point (where I just got acceptance letter a few days ago and as a lowly intern) to ask for a change in project? Personally, I don't think I would be able to contribute much if I don't have interest on what I am working on, but I don't think I can say this to my employer
- If the answer for the first question is yes, then how should I ask them? What for and against reasoning should I take into account?
Thank you very much for your help

Given that you just got the acceptance letter, this is a good time to ask if it's possible to switch to a machine learning group. Typically, at large companies each group is allocated a fixed number of interns, but they will try to match you up with groups that match your skills and interests.
... How should I ask them? What for and against reasoning should I take into account?
I would just email the point of contact at the company. Thank them for the internship and reiterate your interest in working for the company. Then express your interest in switching to a more machine learning focused group, because of your own interest in machine learning and the work you've done in the last 8 months.
I don't recommend completely eliminating the possibility of working for the quantum computing group or you may end up with no internship unless you're okay with that.
