After being accepted to both for my PhD, I started at Berkeley but then finished at Stanford after my professor moved.
Both were excellent. Stanford is more isolated, meaning it has more community, but it’s also harder to get to the city. Stanford also has more budget. I’d give the slight edge to Stanford. I don’t know the quality of their quantum optics faculty and research, though.
