International Quantum Communication Award

Der International Quantum Communication Award ist eine Auszeichnung, die seit 1996 alle zwei Jahre im Rahmen der Internationalen Konferenz für Quantenkommunikation, Quantenmessung und Quantencomputer für wegweisende Beiträge in der theoretischen und der experimentellen Physik vergeben wird. Die Auszeichnung wird von einem Preiskomitee der Tamagawa Universität, Tokio vergeben und ist mit jeweils 250.000 Yen dotiert, das entspricht etwa 1.600 Euro (Wechselkurs vom 20. August 2007).
