A “workshop” on some specifics of QM that puzzle many of us: the basic concept of QM that upsets our naive intuitions is that, as far as the theory seems to go, there is no unique physical world; rather there seem to be many simultaneously existing versions of physical reality. The specific (puzzling) features of QM arising from this are: uncertainty principles, superpositions, radical randomness (and yet statistical determinism), “non-locality”, and quantum entanglement.  I will not use maths for most of this.
