This award supports travel for U.S. participants in two programs on quantum information science in Sweden during the fall of 2010:* The scientific program on Quantum Information held at the Nordic Institute for Theoretical Physics (NORDITA), Stockholm, Sweden, from 27 September to 29 October, 2010. (http://agenda.albanova.se/conferenceDisplay.py?confId=1434)* The program in Quantum Information Theory held at the Mittag-Leffler Mathematics Institute, Djursholm, Sweden, from 1 September to 15 December, 2010. (http://www.mittag-leffler.se/programs/future/1011f/)Both programs share involvement in a common central meeting, the "International Conference on Quantum Information and Computation," held 4-8 October 2010 at the Wenner-Gren Center, Stockholm, Sweden.(http://agenda.albanova.se/conferenceDisplay.py?confId=1440)Support under this travel grant is targeted to young U.S. scientists, enabling them to make important contacts in the international scientific community, and contributing to the training of the next generation of quantum information scientists. For further information, please contact Dr. Mary Beth Ruskai, Tufts University [[e-mail]].Quantum information science is the study of using quantum effects for computation, communication, and cryptography. A quantum computer would be more powerful than existing ones; it could perform tasks which are not feasible with the classical computers of today. Although building a quantum computer remains a formidable challenge, much progress has been made, and devices for new quantum methods of cryptography are now commercially available. Quantum information science is an interdisciplinary field, whose participants range from experimentalists working on the physical implementation of quantum computers and other information processing devices to mathematicians working in abstract fields which have had unanticipated applications in quantum information theory.A quantum computer would threaten the security of commonly-used encryption protocols for tasks ranging from secure transmission of credit card numbers or medical records to transmission of information vital to national security. It is essential that the U.S. remain a leader in this rapidly developing field. This grant will facilitate the participation of U.S. scientists in important international research programs on quantum information theory.

该奖项支持美国参与者在2010年秋季前往瑞典参加两个量子信息科学项目：* 2010年9月27日至10月29日在瑞典斯德哥尔摩北欧理论物理研究所（NORDITA）举行的量子信息科学项目。(http网址：agenda.albanova.se/conferenceDisplay.py? * 2010年9月1日至12月15日，在瑞典朱尔绍尔姆姆的米塔格-莱弗勒数学研究所举行的量子信息理论课程。(http：//www.mittag-leffler.se/programs/future/1011f/）这两个项目共同参与了一个共同的中心会议，即2010年10月4日至8日在瑞典斯德哥尔摩温纳-格伦中心举行的“量子信息和计算国际会议”。(http网址：agenda.albanova.se/conferenceDisplay.py?该旅行资助项下的支持针对美国年轻科学家，使他们能够在国际科学界建立重要联系，并为下一代量子信息科学家的培训做出贡献。 欲了解更多信息，请联系塔夫茨大学的玛丽贝丝·鲁斯凯博士[marybeth. tufts.edu]。量子信息科学是研究利用量子效应进行计算、通信和密码学的学科。 量子计算机将比现有的计算机更强大;它可以执行今天的经典计算机无法执行的任务。 虽然建造量子计算机仍然是一个巨大的挑战，但已经取得了很大的进展，新的量子密码学方法的设备现在已经商用。 量子信息科学是一个跨学科的领域，其参与者范围从从事量子计算机和其他信息处理设备的物理实现的实验学家到从事量子信息理论中具有未预料到的应用的抽象领域的数学家。使用加密协议的任务范围从信用卡号码或医疗记录的安全传输到对国家安全至关重要的信息传输。 美国必须在这个快速发展的领域保持领导地位。 这笔拨款将促进美国科学家参与重要的量子信息理论国际研究计划。
