An Introduction to Quantum Mechanics
http://www.chemistry.ohio-state.edu/betha/qm
This site includes tutorials on probability, particles vs. waves, wave functions and more.
Uses Shockwave.

Quantum Mechanics Tutorial
http://www.gilestv.com/tutorials/quantum.html
This cool tutorial is one of the Flash-animated Modern Physics Tutorials by Giles Hogben.
Extensively illustrated, this tutorial probes questions such as wave-particle duality and offers a good general introduction to quantum physics.

Grains of Mystique:  Quantum Physics for the Layman
http://www.faqs.org/docs/qp
This site provides good historical and experimental background info - and they've documented their sources and made some attempts at peer review.

Quantum Physics Online Version 2.0
http://www.quantum-physics.polytechnique.fr/index.html
This is a cool set of programs that run in your browser, giving simulations of various quantum physics experiments.
Look for info on wave mechanics, quantization, quantum superposition, and spin 1/2.
