A Strict Epistemic Approach to Physics
by Per Östborn
Publisher: arXiv 2016
Number of pages: 543
Description:
Here, we derive the formalism of QM from well-motivated epistemic principles. A key assumption is that in a proper physical theory, the introduction of entities or distinctions that are unknowable in principle is in conflict with the theory.

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.
