Can someone with an electrical engineering degree get into a Physics PhD program?
What would be required? I imagine taking some courses in Quantum Physics, Electrodynamics and such?
Also is this path recommended?
I want to have as many options as possible, meaning, if EE doesn't do it for me, I'll probably just get the EE degree, do a PhD in Physics (if possible) and work in Academia as a Physicist.
Meme option or is it viable?

yes. thats actually a good plan. you have a bit more work during your masters, but thats if you even make it that far.
if you end up hating academia you can still pay off student loans doing power or something else mundane that pays good. your company will probably pay for your masters anyways.

I did something similar: got into a Chemistry PhD program after a BSc. and an MSc. in Food Engineering without any problem.(In Europe.)

You can get into detector r&d. I'd suggest particle physics and detector physics. You should know some basic solid state physics already.
