The course presumes prior expertise in 3-dimensional Schroedinger equation quantum mechanics. The focus of the course is on the physical and philosophical basis of the theory. It covers a selection of quantum paradoxes, including the EPR experiment, Bell's theorem, Wheeler's delayed choice, and the quantum Zeno paradox; as well as alternative interpretations of quantum mechanics.
