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.

量子密码学国际会议 QCrypt 将于 2016 年 9 月 12 日至 16 日在华盛顿特区举行。QCrypt 是从事量子密码学理论和应用方面的学生和研究人员的首要年度会议。 QCrypt 成立于 2010 年，在该领域建立研究社区方面发挥了重要作用，该领域位于信息论、密码学和原子/分子/光学物理学的交叉点。 QCrypt 在展示一些最好的量子密码学理论和实验研究方面有着良好的记录，它定期吸引来自学术界、工业界和政府的 200 多名观众。 QCrypt 致力于增加学生对该领域的参与。拟议的资金将支持 10 至 20 名符合条件的美国学生参加会议的旅费。收件人将能够参加主要会议、研讨会和教程。旅费补助金将鼓励资金不足的学生以及刚刚开始参与该领域或有兴趣进入该领域的学生的研究兴趣和参与。我们将特别努力接触女性和代表性不足的少数群体，以及 QCrypt 传统上没有代表性的机构。
