The 23rd Quantum Information Processing Workshop (QIP 2020) will be held in Shenzhen, China from January 4th to 10th, 2020. This workshop is the central event in the area of Quantum Computing and, more generally, Quantum Information Science, bringing together over 600 of the leading international researchers in theoretical aspects of quantum information and computation, and play a role as one of the most important venues for the groundbreaking research in theoretical computer science. Students attending this event receive a broad exposure to the most novel and exciting ideas and results in the field through contributed talks, poster sessions, rump sessions, tutorial sessions, and industry sessions. In addition, participation in this top conference is an excellent opportunity for young researchers to develop necessary research skills in presentation and collaborations. By enabling the attendance of students with financial difficulty and encouraging the diversity of the participants, this travel grant potentially has long-term benefits after QIP 2020 has concluded. This project funds the participation of 20 US-based students in this event. Participation at this meeting will enhance the research experiences for students and provide increased opportunities for new collaborations. Organizers seek to increase the number of student and postdoctoral participants by targeting women, undergraduates, and under-represented groups for participation. The aim is to support young researchers who might not otherwise be able to attend QIP 2020 due to financial difficulty as well as to encourage the diversity of the field.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.

第23次量子信息处理研讨会（QIP 2020）将于2020年1月4日至10日在中国深圳举行。该研讨会是量子计算领域的中心活动，更广泛地是量子信息科学，汇集了600多个。国际领先的研究人员在量子信息和计算的理论方面，并作为理论计算机科学开创性研究最重要的场所之一。参加此活动的学生通过贡献的演讲，海报会议，臀部会议，教程会议和行业会议，广泛地了解了该领域中最新颖，令人兴奋的想法和结果。此外，参加这次顶级会议是年轻研究人员在演讲和合作方面发展必要的研究技能的绝佳机会。通过使有财务困难的学生出席并鼓励参与者的多样性，该旅行赠款有可能在QIP 2020结束后具有长期利益。该项目资助了20个美国学生参加此事件的参与。参加这次会议将增强学生的研究经验，并为新的合作提供更多的机会。组织者试图通过针对妇女，本科生和代表性不足的群体来增加学生和博士后参与者的数量。目的是支持年轻的研究人员，因为财务困难以及鼓励该领域的多样性，否则本来可能无法参加QIP 2020的年轻研究人员。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并且通过使用基金会的评估来评估NSF的法定任务。智力优点和更广泛的影响审查标准。
