Description
IceCube is the world's largest neutrino observatory with a km$^3$ array of optical detectors located at the South Pole in Antarctica. In over a decade of observation, IceCube has exceedingly shaped our understanding of the astrophysical neutrino paradigm. With a near 100% duty cycle, IceCube is a vital tool not only for neutrino astronomy, but also for probing BSM physics, fundamental neutrino physics with the vast volumes of atmospheric neutrinos it collects, and cosmic ray physics with the IceTop surface array. In this talk, I will highlight the most recent physics results from IceCube. I will also provide an overview of the currently underway IceCube upgrade and the contribution of the Sweden group to this effort.
