Description	The field of quantum foundations seeks to answer questions such as: What do the elements of the mathematical formalism of quantum theory represent? From what physical principles can the formalism be derived? What are the precise ways in which a quantum world differs from a classical world and other possible worlds? These lectures will cover some important foundational topics which touch upon these questions, in particular, operational and realist interpretations of the formalism, the quantum measurement problem, nonlocality and contextuality.
