Future Students

pink carnation in Memorial of HopeFlowers placed on the Memorail of Hope during Convocation serve as a reminder of those students who never got a chance to graduate.

Flowers a tribute to slain students

As we honour those students who graduate from the University and prepare to launch their careers, we should remember those who never got the chance, says a UWindsor professor.

Lana Lee of the chemistry and biochemistry department placed flowers in each of the 14 stones of the Memorial of Hope during Convocation ceremonies last week. The sculpture, located between Essex and Dilon halls, honours the young women slain in 1989’s Montreal Massacre at Ecole Polytechnique. It was the first time she made the gesture, Dr. Lee says, but it won’t be the last.

Physicist brings entanglement framework to realm of superconductors

Quantum computers have the potential to be significantly more powerful than today’s fastest silicon-based processors, and a central ingredient behind their power is a fundamental property of quantum mechanics known as “entanglement”.

Now a UWindsor physics professor has developed a mathematical formalism for characterizing entanglement in an important class of materials, marking an important step in understanding these systems and a potential contribution toward quantum computing.
