International Quantum Communication Award
The International Quantum Communication Award is an award given every two years at the International Conference on since 1996 quantum communication , quantum measurement and quantum computers will be awarded for pioneering contributions in theoretical and experimental physics. The award is given by an award committee of Tamagawa University , Tokyo and is endowed with 250,000 yen each , which corresponds to around 1,600 euros ( exchange rate on August 20, 2007).
