When tiny things do big things!

Hi!
CAP (Canadian Association of Physicists)lecture for undergraduate students “Quantum information science and technology:  when tiny things do big things” by Prof. Laforest from University of Waterloo will be held in ERC 1094 on March 12th from 4 – 5pm. I will post the information for all the students in Physics program on Blackboard.
Jeremy, Luciano, Fedor: if you think this lecture can be of interest for your students please inform them.
Two landmark theories that emerged in the 20th century forever changed our world: quantum mechanics and information theory. The first altered our perception of reality; the second enabled the information age of today. Quantum Information Science and Technology bridge these theories — by probing deep questions about information and reality, and by developing the transformative technologies of tomorrow. This talk will overview the basic concepts of Quantum Information Science and Technology and its applications to computing, communication and sensing. The current state of its physical realization using nuclear and electronic spins, photons, superconductor and semiconductors will also be explored.”
Thank you,
Val

Physics Talk – Blackholes

Two protons walk into a black hole.
Find out why this is funny!

Joseph MacMillan is going to talk about Black Holes on Monday Feb 4th @ 4:00 pm in J125 @ UOIT (Simcoe Building). This is the second of many Physics Talks that you will see more of next year, from Physics Society.

ValentinOgrams! A little bit of love for everyone :)

Hey all! As you may know, Valentine’s day is quickly approaching! Excited? Us too! On Thursday, February 14th the Science Council is pairing up with Red Cross Youth Action to bring to you VALENTINOGRAMS! Drop by the UA Atrium between 10am- 4pm to share your love with that special someone or a friend. You can send out candygrams, flowers, Valentine cards in which you can write your own little message, or even take a picture with them underneath some hearts! You also have the option of delivering your message by one of our many Cupids! There will also be baked goods being sold and some really fun activities, such as throwing darts at one of the Cupids or even having one of the science students sing to you! 

All proceeds are going towards the International Committee of Red Cross (ICRC) in Syria so come on down to support a great cause!

Welcome to the Science Council Website

Hello readers!

It is my great pleasure to be serving as the elected President of the UOIT Science Council, the Faculty of Science Society for the 2012 – 2013 year. I look forward to leading the Council’s efforts to serve the UOIT Science community as effectively and efficiently as possible to fulfill our vision; to enrich the minds, experiences, and fellowship of the students belonging to the UOIT Faculty of Science through innovative social, professional, and academic activities. Our goal is to provide you, the science students, with the tools required to succeed in your field, deliver opportunities to explore science and what it has to offer, guide you in your studies and extracurricular events, and give you the best undergraduate experience here at UOIT.

I’d like to take the time to encourage each and every science student to get involved with the council and stress that we act on behalf of all of our undergraduate members. You have a say towards the actions and mission of the council, so do not hesitate to contact myself or any of our acting members. With an exceptional executive team, you can expect great things from the Science Council this year!

Sincerely,

Jaymie Oentoro

President, UOIT Science Council 2012 – 2013
