The Transactional Interpretation  - http://mist.npl.washington.edu/npl/int_rep/tiqm/TI_toc.html  A comprehensive review of the historical interpretations of quantum mechanics, as well as a new proposal  The Everett Interpretation FAQ  - http://www.hedweb.com/manworld.htm  A set of frequently asked questions on Everett's many worlds approach to quantum mechanics  The Copenhagen Interpretation  - http://mist.npl.washington.edu/npl/int_rep/tiqm/TI_20.html#2.0  A review of the copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics  Everett's Relative-State Formulation of Quantum Mechanics  - http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/qm-everett/  Describes Everett's attempt to solve the measurement problem by dropping the collapse dynamics from the standard von Neumann-Dirac theory of quantum mechanics. From the Stanford Encyclopedia.  Discussions with Einstein on Epistemological Problems in Atomic Physics  - http://www.marxists.org/reference/subject/philosophy/works/dk/bohr.htm  Report by Niels Bohr of his discussions with Albert Einstein over many years on the epistemological implications of quantum theory.  Measurement in Quantum Theory  - http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/qt-measurement/  Collapse of the wave function, role of the observer in QM; From the Stanford Encyclopedia, by Henry Krips.  On the Interpretation and Philosophical Foundation of QM  - http://info.uibk.ac.at/c/c7/c704/qo/philosop.html  Historical Overview -objective randomness of the individual quantum  Interpretation and Philosophical Foundation of Quantum Mechanics  - http://www.ap.univie.ac.at/users/Anton.Zeilinger/philosop.html  The epistemological paradigm on which we could build a foundation of quantum mechanics has not been found yet. (contains untranslated quotes in German).  Heisenberg's Physics and Philosophy  - http://www.marxists.org/reference/subject/philosophy/works/ge/heisenb2.htm  History of QM and Copenhagen Interpretation  Measurement in quantum mechanics FAQ  - http://www.mtnmath.com/faq/meas-qm.html  Lucid description of exisitng Interpretations and their problems, acessible to general public.  Directing the strokes of Ockham's razor  - http://www.tbtf.com/resource/jwburton.html  Skeptic (may be flippant but short) overview of the Interpretations  Realistic interpretations of QM  - http://www.tuwien.ac.at/cms/wh/mw/home.html  Readable description with historical and philosophical references.  Foundations of Quantum Mechanics  - http://www.math.rutgers.edu/~oldstein/quote.html  John Bell and Bohmian QM  Many-Worlds FAQ  - http://www.geocities.com/capecanaveral/hangar/6929/manyworld.html  This FAQ shows how quantum paradoxes are resolved by the "many-worlds" interpretation or metatheory of quantum mechanics. This FAQ does not seek to prove that the many-worlds interpretation is the "correct" quantum metatheory, merely to correct some of the common errors and misinformation on the subject.  The Kochen-Specker Theorem  - http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/kochen-specker/  From the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy by Carsten Held.  The Copenhagen Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics  - http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/qm-copenhagen/  First interpretation of quantum mechanics due to Niels Bohr  The Many-Worlds Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics  - http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/qm-manyworlds/  Interpretation of quantum mechanics due to Hugh Everett according to which many universes exist in parallel at the same space and time.  Relational Quantum Mechanics  - http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/qm-relational/  An interpretation of quantum theory which discards the notions of absolute state of a system, absolute value of its physical quantities, or absolute event; from the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy by Federico Laudisa and Carlo Rovelli.  Collapse Theories  - http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/qm-collapse/  Survey of the dynamical reduction program; from the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy by Giancarlo Ghirardi.  In the beginning was the bit  - http://www.quantum.univie.ac.at/links/newscientist/bit.html  An article in New Scientist about the latest ideas of Anton Zeilinger and Caslav Brukner.  Mangled Worlds Quantum Mechanics  - http://hanson.gmu.edu/mangledworlds.html  Describes a variation on the many worlds interpretation in which the Born probability rule can be derived via finite world counting.  Quantum Reality  - http://www.quantum.bowmain.com/Quantum_Reality.htm  Brief exploration of issues surrounding Quantum Mechanics and reality.  Against Many Worlds Interpretation  - http://arxiv.org/abs/gr-qc/9703089  A paper which indicates the Many Worlds Interpretation of quantum mechanics is invalid  A Survey on Bohmian Mechanics  - http://arxiv.org/abs/quant-ph/9504010  Bohmian mechanics is the most obvious embedding of Schrodinger's equation into a completely coherent physical theory  The Ithaca Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics  - http://arxiv.org/abs/quant-ph/9609013  Criteria for a 'good' interpretation of QM  Indeterminism and the Bohm Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics  - http://www.pericson.com/writings/bohmindeterminism/  In this essay it is argued that it is possible to subscribe to the Bohm interpretation of quantum mechanics without giving up indeterminism in nature.  This Quantum World  - http://www.flyservers.com/members5/thisquantumworld.com/  The website of Ulrich Mohrhoff and the Pondicherry interpretation of quantum mechanics  Multiverses and Blackberries;  - http://www.csicop.org/si/2001-09/fringe-watcher.html  Many world theories - Overview by M.
