TL;DR: The Resource Letter as discussed by the authors provides a guide to the literature on the foundations of quantum mechanics over approximately the past 20 years, including Bell's theorem, interpretation of the quantum state concept, the theory of measurement, and experimental tests of fundamental aspects of quantum theory of matter and the electromagnetic field.
Abstract: This Resource Letter provides a guide to the literature on the foundations of quantum mechanics over approximately the past 20 years. Topics covered include Bell’s theorem, interpretation of the quantum state concept, the theory of measurement, and experimental tests of fundamental aspects of the quantum theory of matter and the electromagnetic field. The letter E after an item indicates elementary level of material of general interest to persons becoming informed in the field. The letter I, for intermediate level, indicates material of somewhat more specialized nature; and the letter A indicates rather specialized or advanced material. An asterisk (*) indicates those articles to be included in an accompanying Reprint Book.

TL;DR: The concept of ideal measurement is a realist concept that encapsulates the realist idea that in measurement we are about the task of reporting an independently existing objective reality as mentioned in this paper, and this objective reality is to be characterised classically in terms of physical quantities possessing particular values.
Abstract: The concept of measurement favoured by Einstein, Bohm, Putnam, et al. in the context of Quantum Theory (QT) is a realist concept. It encapsulates the realist idea that in measurement we are about the task of reporting an independently existing objective reality. Moreover for Einstein, Bohm, Putnam et al. this objective reality is to be characterised classically in terms of physical quantities possessing particular values.1 Thus an “ideal measurement” is characterised as a process in which a measured value for some physical quantity is produced and that measured value reflects the value possessed by the physical quantity.
