Travel Support for the 19th Quantum Information Processing Workshop (QIP 2016)

这些资金被要求支持学生前往将于2016年1月10日至16日在加拿大班夫中心举行的量子信息处理研讨会。该研讨会是量子计算领域的中心活动，更广泛地说，量子信息科学。预计QIP将汇集约500名量子信息和计算理论方面的领先研究人员，并作为理论计算机科学开创性研究的最重要场所之一发挥作用。NSF的支持将有助于扩大QIP研讨会的参与，为最多20名可能不会参加QIP的学生提供旅行补贴。组织者的目标是增加来自代表性不足群体的学生和博士后参与者的数量。

The funds are requested to support student travel to Quantum Information Processing Workshop to be held at the Banff Centre in Canada, on 10-16 January, 2016. This workshop is the central event in the area of Quantum Computing and, more generally, Quantum Information Science. It is expected that QIP will bring together about 500 leading researchers in theoretical aspects of quantum information and computation, and play a role as one of the most important venues for the groundbreaking research in theoretical computer science. NSF support will help broaden participation at the QIP Workshop by subsidizing the travel for up to 20 student participants who might not otherwise attend QIP. Organizers aim at increasing the number of student and postdoctoral participants from the under-represented groups.
