Student Travel Support for QCrypt Conference

量子密码学国际会议QCrypt将于9月9日在华盛顿特区举行。2016年12月16日。QCrypt是致力于量子密码学理论和应用方面的学生和研究人员的主要年度会议。QCrypt成立于2010年，在该领域建立了一个研究社区，该领域位于信息论、密码学和原子/分子/光学物理的交叉点。QCrypt在展示理论和实验方面的一些最好的量子密码学研究方面有着很好的记录，它经常吸引来自学术界、工业界和政府的200多人。QCrypt寻求增加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。获奖者将能够参加主要会议、研讨会和教程。旅行补助金将鼓励那些没有充足资金的学生和那些刚刚开始参与该领域或有兴趣参与该领域的学生的研究兴趣和参与。将作出特别努力，接触妇女和代表性不足的少数群体，以及在QCrypt传统上没有代表的机构。

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.
