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.

Qcrypt是国际量子密码学会议，将于2016年9月12日至16日在华盛顿特区举行。QCRypt是为量子密码学的理论和应用方面的学生和研究人员举行的首要年度会议。 QCRypt成立于2010年，在该领域建立一个研究界，这在信息理论，密码学和原子/分子/光学物理学的交集中起着重要作用。 Qcrypt在理论和实验中介绍一些最佳的量子密码研究的记录很强，并且经常吸引来自学术界，工业和政府的200多人的受众。 Qcrypt试图增加学生参与该领域。拟议的资金将支持10-20名合格的美国学生前往会议的旅行。接收者将能够参加主要会议，研讨会和教程。旅行补助金将鼓励研究兴趣以及该领域的学生的参与，他们的资金不高，刚刚开始参与该领域或有兴趣进入该领域的人。将要采取特殊的努力来与妇女和代表性不足的少数群体接触，并在QCrypt中不代表的机构。
