Does anyone know of QM notes (or a review article) that covers entanglement, the measurement problem, Bell inequalities, decoherence, or the delayed choice experiment (or the more recent mesoscopic experiments). So to speak the more modern and the exciting aspects of QM. I think closest to that are the Susskind lecture notes. But browsing the net I came to believe that 99 percent of the notes do not even mention entanglement. That's a bit of a shame and hard to understand.

thanks

Most of it you will find in
http://lanl.arxiv.org/abs/quant-ph/0209123
and
http://lanl.arxiv.org/abs/quant-ph/0609163

Those two papers say nothing about decoherence, so for decoherence I recommend
http://lanl.arxiv.org/abs/quant-ph/0312059
http://lanl.arxiv.org/abs/quant-ph/9803052
http://lanl.arxiv.org/abs/quant-ph/0306072

All the lectures above are specialized only to this "modern" stuff. If you want more complete lectures with all the "standard" stuff but also some "modern" stuff, see
http://lanl.arxiv.org/abs/quant-ph/0605180v5

All the above are free lectures. If you want a proper (non-free) book on this stuff, I highly recommend
