Quantum theory has generated/revitalised the exploration of various philosophical concepts such as scientific realism, locality, emergence, and counterfactual definiteness. I'm not a philosopher so I won't pretend to understand all these, but I've worked in groups that have had philosophers present work on these things. A couple of names off the top of my head for people in this area would be Tim Maudlin[0] and Jeremy Butterfield[1]. There's a comprehensive-looking SEP article on the subject as well[2].
