Travel Support for Workshop: Rocky Mountain Summit on Quantum Information

该奖项的目的是支持学生前往落基山量子信息峰会，该峰会旨在汇集量子信息科学广泛领域的领先科学家。研讨会的重点是量子信息理论，特别是量子香农理论，以及在高能物理和凝聚态理论中应用的量子信息方法。这是一个重要的新兴研究领域，在美国的实力日益增强。关注的话题与信息论的关系最为密切。由美国国家科学基金会（NSF）支持的IEEE信息论研讨会（ISIT）是信息论的一个主要场所，与本次研讨会同时举办，为研讨会与会者提供了一个独特的机会，使他们能够从广大信息论社区的参与中受益。该奖项将支持最多15名学生和博士后学者参加本次研讨会，重点关注那些最需要支持的人，并优先考虑代表性不足的群体。该研讨会将于2018年6月25日至29日在科罗拉多大学博尔德分校举行。研讨会网站http://jila.colorado.edu/rmsqi提供了有关研讨会的一般信息。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 purpose of this award is to support student travel to the Rocky Mountain Summit on Quantum Information, which aims to bring together leading scientists in the broad field of quantum information science. The focus of the workshop is on quantum information theory, in particular quantum Shannon theory, as well as quantum information methods employed in high energy physics and condensed matter theory. This is an important emerging research area, with a growing strength in US. The topic of focus is most closely related to Information Theory. A major venue in Information Theory, IEEE Symposium on Information Theory (ISIT), also supported by NSF, and this workshop are collocated, providing a unique opportunity to the workshop attendees to benefit from the participation of Information Theory community at large. The award will support travel for up to 15 students and postdoctoral scholars to this workshop, focusing on those needing the support most and giving the priority to underrepresented groups. The workshop is to be held at the University of Colorado Boulder, from June 25 to June 29, 2018. Workshop website, http://jila.colorado.edu/rmsqi, provides general information about the workshop.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.
