Abstract

In the following we consider the possibility of interpretating non-local interferometric experiments according to the De Broglie causal model. With the help of a simplified mathematical model based on wavelet analysis it is indeed possible to explain it in a causal way. Furthermore we show the distinction between the two formalisms and discuss some experimental conditions that may make these differences evident.
