In the last decades, many two-slit interference experiments have actually been performed as sequential experiments by sending as few as possible particles at a time through some interfering apparatus. In this work, a novel purely particle statistical approach to the analysis of these interference experiments is proposed by explicating the sequential nature of the experimental observations. This modeling approach, which is formulated under the usual axioms for probability theory of Kolmogorov, does not make use of any wave-like mathematics or concept. Moreover, the description of purely particle two-slit interference experiments actually allowed by this approach, apart from being free from the usual paradoxes, is also more complete than that provided by the classical theory of quantum mechanics.

Abstract
In the last decades, many two-slit interference experiments have actually been performed as sequential experiments by sending as few as possible particles at a time through some interfering apparatus. In this work, a novel purely particle statistical approach to the analysis of these interference experiments is proposed by explicating the sequential nature of the experimental observations. This modeling approach, which is formulated under the usual axioms for probability theory of Kolmogorov, does not make use of any wave-like mathematics or concept. Moreover, the description of purely particle two-slit interference experiments actually allowed by this approach, apart from being free from the usual paradoxes, is also more complete than that provided by the classical theory of quantum mechanics.
