This award supports travel for U.S. participants in two programs on quantum information science in Sweden during the fall of 2010:* The scientific program on Quantum Information held at the Nordic Institute for Theoretical Physics (NORDITA), Stockholm, Sweden, from 27 September to 29 October, 2010. (http://agenda.albanova.se/conferenceDisplay.py?confId=1434)* The program in Quantum Information Theory held at the Mittag-Leffler Mathematics Institute, Djursholm, Sweden, from 1 September to 15 December, 2010. (http://www.mittag-leffler.se/programs/future/1011f/)Both programs share involvement in a common central meeting, the "International Conference on Quantum Information and Computation," held 4-8 October 2010 at the Wenner-Gren Center, Stockholm, Sweden.(http://agenda.albanova.se/conferenceDisplay.py?confId=1440)Support under this travel grant is targeted to young U.S. scientists, enabling them to make important contacts in the international scientific community, and contributing to the training of the next generation of quantum information scientists. For further information, please contact Dr. Mary Beth Ruskai, Tufts University [[e-mail]].Quantum information science is the study of using quantum effects for computation, communication, and cryptography. A quantum computer would be more powerful than existing ones; it could perform tasks which are not feasible with the classical computers of today. Although building a quantum computer remains a formidable challenge, much progress has been made, and devices for new quantum methods of cryptography are now commercially available. Quantum information science is an interdisciplinary field, whose participants range from experimentalists working on the physical implementation of quantum computers and other information processing devices to mathematicians working in abstract fields which have had unanticipated applications in quantum information theory.A quantum computer would threaten the security of commonly-used encryption protocols for tasks ranging from secure transmission of credit card numbers or medical records to transmission of information vital to national security. It is essential that the U.S. remain a leader in this rapidly developing field. This grant will facilitate the participation of U.S. scientists in important international research programs on quantum information theory.

该奖项支持2010年秋季在瑞典的两项量子信息科学课程中为美国参与者提供旅行：*瑞典北欧理论物理研究所（Nordita）在北欧理论物理研究所（Nordita）举行的量子信息计划，瑞典，2010年9月27日至10月29日，瑞典。 2010年9月1日至12月15日，在瑞典Djursholm的Mittag-Leffler数学研究所举行的量子信息理论。瑞典斯德哥尔摩（http://agenda.albanova.se/conferencedisplay.py?confid=1440）这项旅行赠款的支持针对年轻的美国科学家，使他们能够在国际科学社区中建立重要的联系，并为下一代量子信息科学家的培训做出贡献。 有关更多信息，请联系塔夫茨大学的玛丽·贝丝·鲁斯凯（Mary Beth Ruskai）博士[玛丽贝斯（Marybeth.ruskai）@tufts.edu]。Quantum信息科学是对使用量子效应进行计算，通信和密码学的研究。 量子计算机比现有计算机更强大。它可以执行当今古典计算机不可行的任务。 尽管构建量子计算机仍然是一个巨大的挑战，但已经取得了很多进展，而新的加密量子方法的设备现在可以在市售。 量子信息科学是一个跨学科的领域，其参与者的范围从从事量子计算机的物理实施和其他信息处理设备的实验学家到在抽象领域工作的数学家，这些数学家在量子信息理论中已经意外应用了应用程序。量子计算机将威胁到通用范围内的通用范围的通用范围的通用范围，即通用范围内的通用范围，量子计算机将威胁到范围内的通用范围，从而使信息或医疗记录的范围范围范围范围范围内。 在这个迅速发展的领域中，美国至关重要。 该赠款将促进美国科学家参与量子信息理论重要的国际研究计划。
