The 22nd Quantum Information Processing Workshop (QIP 2019) will be co-hosted by the University of Colorado, Boulder (UC Boulder) and the Joint Institute for Laboratory Astrophysics (JILA) on January 12-18, 2019. This workshop is the central event in the area of Quantum Computing and, more generally, Quantum Information Science, bringing together over 500 of the 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. Students attending this event receive a broad exposure to the most novel and exciting ideas and results in the field by contributed talks, poster sessions, rump sessions, tutorial sessions, and industry sessions. In addition, participation in this top conference is an excellent opportunity for young researchers to develop necessary research skills in presentation and collaborations. By enabling the attendance of students with financial difficulty and encouraging the diversity of the participants, this travel grant potentially has long-term benefits after QIP 2019 has concluded. This project funds the participation of US-based students in this event. Participation at this meeting will enhance the research experiences for students and provide increased opportunities for new collaborations. NSF support will help broaden participation at the QIP Workshop by subsidizing the travel for up to 16 student participants. Organizers aim at increasing the number of student and postdoctoral participants by targeting women, undergraduates, and under-represented groups for participation. The aim is to support young researchers who might not otherwise be able to attend QIP 2019 due to financial difficulty as well as to encourage the diversity of the field.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

第22届量子信息处理研讨会(QIP 2019)将于2019年1月12-18日由科罗拉多大学博尔德分校(UC Boulder)和联合实验室天体物理研究所(JILA)联合主办。这次研讨会是量子计算领域的中心活动，更广泛地说，是量子信息科学领域的中心活动，汇聚了500多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了作用。参加这一活动的学生通过贡献演讲、海报会议、臀部会议、辅导会议和行业会议，广泛接触到该领域最新颖和最令人兴奋的想法和结果。此外，参加这一顶级会议对年轻研究人员来说是一个极好的机会，可以在演讲和合作中培养必要的研究技能。通过允许经济困难的学生参加，并鼓励参与者的多样性，这项旅行津贴在2019年QIP结束后可能会有长期的好处。该项目资助在美国的学生参加这一活动。参加这次会议将增强学生的研究体验，并为新的合作提供更多的机会。NSF的支持将通过补贴最多16名学生参与者的旅费来帮助扩大QIP研讨会的参与度。组织者旨在通过瞄准女性、本科生和代表性不足的群体来增加学生和博士后参与者的数量。该奖项旨在支持因经济困难而可能无法参加2019年QIP的年轻研究人员，并鼓励该领域的多样性。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
