The Cellular Automaton Interpretation of Quantum Mechanicsby Gerard 't Hooft - Springer
This book presents the deterministic view of quantum mechanics developed by Gerard 't Hooft. 't Hooft has revived the old hidden variable ideas, but now in a much more systematic way. Quantum mechanics is viewed as a tool rather than a theory.

Understanding Quantum Measurement from the Solution of Dynamical Modelsby A.E. Allahverdyan, R. Balian, T.M. Nieuwenhuizen - arXiv
The quantum measurement problem: why a unique outcome is obtained in each individual experiment, is currently tackled by solving models. After an introduction, we review the models proposed. A flexible and realistic quantum model is introduced...

An Introduction to Relativistic Quantum Mechanicsby M. De Sanctis - arXiv
By using the general concepts of special relativity and the requirements of quantum mechanics, Dirac equation is derived and studied. Only elementary knowledge of spin and rotations in quantum mechanics and standard linear algebra are required.

Manifesting the Quantum Worldby Ulrich Mohrhoff - arXiv
In resisting attempts to explain the unity of a whole in terms of a multiplicity of interacting parts, quantum mechanics calls for an explanatory concept that proceeds in the opposite direction: from unity to multiplicity ...
