Principles of Quantum Mechanics was created in 1930.

If anyone knew, then they would be a very famous person. The fact is that there is no known "correct" interpretation of quantum mechanics. Every interpretation has its critics and proponents, and every interpretation has its flaws.

The previous answer says there is no known correct interpretation. I would go further, and say that no interpretation is any more valid than any other; all the interpretations are correct. They all give the same predictions, and therefore no experiment can possibly tell us which is "correct".

The distinction is sometimes made to distinguish normal quantum mechanics (which does not incorporate special relativity) and quantum field theory (relativistic quantum mechanics).

Since we know special relativity is correct it is the relativistic form of quantum mechanics which is true, but non-relativistic quantum mechanics is still used, because it is a good approximation at low energies and it is much simpler.

Physics students typically study regular quantum mechanics before moving on to quantum field theory.

The concepts of quantum mechanics were not explored until the 20th century. Newton only lived into the 18th century, so Newton did no work on quantum mechanics.
