This chapter serves as an introduction to the philosophical issues raised by quantum theory. It begins with a brief overview of the for-malism of quantum theory. The so-called “measurement problem” is introduced, and the main approaches to it surveyed. We then discuss the implications of quantum theory for metaphysics. One question
