Student Travel Support for QCrypt Conference

量子密码学国际会议QCrypt将于9月9日在华盛顿举行。2016年12-16日。QCrypt是研究量子密码学理论和应用方面的学生和研究人员的首要年度会议。QCrypt成立于2010年，一直致力于在这一领域建立一个研究社区，这是信息理论，密码学和原子/分子/光学物理学的交叉点。QCrypt在理论和实验方面展示了一些最好的量子密码学研究，并且经常吸引来自学术界，工业界和政府的200多名观众。QCrypt旨在提高学生在该领域的参与度。拟议的资金将支持10 - 20名符合条件的美国学生参加会议。受助人将能够参加主要会议，研讨会和辅导。旅行赠款将鼓励研究兴趣和参与该领域的学生谁没有很好的资金和那些谁是刚刚开始参与该领域或有兴趣进入它.一个特别的努力，将接触到妇女和代表性不足的少数民族，和机构没有传统的代表在QCrypt.

QCrypt, an international conference on quantum cryptography, will be held in Washington, DC on Sept. 12-16, 2016. QCrypt is the premier annual conference for students and researchers working on theoretical and applied aspects of quantum cryptography. Founded in 2010, QCrypt has been instrumental in building a research community in this area, which lies at the intersection of information theory, cryptography, and atomic/molecular/optical physics. QCrypt has a strong record of presenting some of the best quantum cryptography research in both theory and experiment, and it regularly attracts an audience of over 200 people from academia, industry, and government. QCrypt seeks to increase student participation in the field. The proposed funding would support the travel of 10 - 20 eligible US students to the conference. Recipients would be able to attend the main conference, workshops, and tutorials. Travel grants will encourage the research interests and the involvement of students in the field who are not well funded and those who are just beginning their participation in the field or are interested in entering it. A special effort will be made to reach out to women and under-represented minorities, and institutions not traditionally represented at QCrypt.
