An Introduction to Many Worlds in Quantum Computation
by Clare Hewitt-Horsman
Publisher: arXiv 2009
Number of pages: 38
Description:
The interpretation of quantum mechanics is an area of increasing interest to many working physicists. This paper introduces one interpretation of quantum mechanics, a modern 'many-worlds' theory, from the perspective of quantum computation. Reasons for seeking to interpret quantum mechanics are discussed, then the specific 'neo-Everettian' theory is introduced and its claim as the best available interpretation defended.

Do we really understand quantum mechanics?by F. Laloe - Zuckschwerdt Publishers
A discussion of several aspects of our present understanding of quantum mechanics. The emphasis is put on the special correlations that this theory makes possible: they are forbidden by very general arguments based on realism and local causality.

Quantum Physics Notesby J D Cresser - Macquarie University
With the development of the quantum information interpretation of quantum mechanics, the tendency is to move away from wave mechanics to the more abstract linear algebra version. It is this view of quantum mechanics that is presented in these notes.
