Abstract
In this chapter we shall see that diffraction and interference histograms (which are typical for QM) can be produced not only by, e.g., electrons or photons, but even by deterministic particles. The crucial point is that dynamics of particles is discrete time. One can interpret this result either as an artifact of the discrete time approximation of the second Newton law or as a consequence of the fundamental (at the moment purely speculative) property of time, namely, existence of time quant. We also speculate that such indivisible time quant can be related to the Planck time.
