This course aims to give the interested \"non-expert\" knowledge about the scope, methods and meaning of quantum physics. A background in the natural sciences is not necessary. The core of the course concerns the basic concept of quantum physics, and the problem of how our normal reality can emerge from it, something which, surprisingly, is still not understood.Contents 1. What is quantum physics? 2. Why is quantum physics needed? 3. How does quantum physics work? 4. The reality problem 5. Does God play dice? 6. Schrödinger´s cat 7. Interpretations of quantum physics 8. The measurement problem 9. The Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen paradox 10. Bell´s theorem 11. Non-locality: the whole universe connected!Realization Each course occasion´s language and form is stated and appear on the course page on Luleå University of Technology's website.
