NSF Student Travel Grant for 2019 Annual Conference on Quantum Information Processing (QIP)

第22届量子信息处理研讨会（QIP 2019）将于2019年1月12日至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）共同主办。本次研讨会是量子计算领域的核心活动，更广泛地说，是量子信息科学领域的核心活动，汇集了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作用。参加本次活动的学生可以通过演讲、海报会议、会议、辅导会议和行业会议，广泛接触到该领域最新颖、最激动人心的想法和成果。此外，参加这个顶级会议是年轻研究人员在演讲和合作方面发展必要的研究技能的绝佳机会。通过使有经济困难的学生参加并鼓励参与者的多样性，这项旅行补助金可能在QIP 2019结束后具有长期效益。该项目资助美国学生参加此次活动。参加这次会议将提高学生的研究经验，并为新的合作提供更多的机会。国家科学基金会将通过资助最多16名学生参加QIP研讨会的旅行，帮助扩大QIP研讨会的参与范围。组织者旨在通过针对女性、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。其目的是支持那些可能因经济困难而无法参加QIP 2019的年轻研究人员，并鼓励该领域的多样性。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

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.
