The Quantum Universe is a good, rigorous, but well-explained book that might be along the lines you're looking for. Possibly also Reality is Not What it Seems, but I've barely started that one so I can't say for sure.
Carlo Rovelli is a physicist who does a lot to put philosophy in dialogue with physics, and physics in dialogue with philosophy. There is a lot of his stuff that you could read, but perhaps "Reality is not What it Seems" would be a good place to start. In that book he even shows how Newton and Einstein were benefiting from their knowledge of philosophy.
On a more technical note, his particular thing is quantum gravity and particularly relational quantum mechanics. He is coauthor on an article on the topic for the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy.
