Abstract: A new quantum-mechanical model of the two-slit experiment is presented, in which the wave properties of a particle are compatible with its corpuscular ones. The model is based on the idea which also underlies our previous model of a one-dimensional completed scattering. Its essence is that quantum processes, in which the system's state represents a coherent superposition of microscopically distinct substates (CSMDS), must be considered as complex random processes consisting of alternative subprocesses. Only with a new approach to CSMDSs quantum theory admits a consistent statistical interpretation and becomes free from the paradoxes associated at present with CSMDSs.

Keywords: wave-corpuscular duality, statistical interpretation of quantum mechanics, coherent superposition of microscopically distinct states.
