Title: Quantum mechanics from an equivalence principle
Abstract: In the past few years a derivation of quantum mechanics
from an equivalence principle was obtained. The project would
entail applying the new formalism to text book quantum mechanics
problems and possibly continue its development.

The first reference is very extensive, but you will not need most of it.
The second reference is also not relevant for the project. The third
reference may look daunting, but it really only requires basic
undergraduate calculus.
