TLDR
In this article, it was shown that direct detection of empty waves, combined with the validity of the quantum mechanical description of EPR-type experiments, inevitably leads to faster-than-light communication.

Absolute space-time and realism in Lorentz invariant interpretations of quantum mechanics

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that Lorentz invariance and covariance still apply to quantum mechanics in all frames of reference whenever Einstein and de Broglie's theory of light, recently revisited by Vigier [IEEE Trans. Plasma Sci. 18 (1990) 64], is considered.

A Non Relativistic Argument Against Continuous Trajectories of Particles

TL;DR: In this article , the probability of a particular type of results is predicted according to the quantum formalism and the assumption is made that there exists a particle that travels from the source to one of the detectors, along a continuous trajectory.

A Non-Relativistic Argument against Continuous Trajectories of Particles

TL;DR: In this paper , the probability of a particular type of results is predicted according to the quantum formalism and the assumption is made that there exists a particle that travels from the source to one of the detectors, along a continuous trajectory.

The Electron and the Cosmos: From the Universe of Fragmented Objects to the Particle-World

TL;DR: Particle physics is normally considered to be the cutting edge of the reductionist approach in physics: the analysis of a system in reductionist terms is considered exhaustive when all the relevant aspects of the dynamics of that system have been brought back to the level of the elementary constituents as discussed by the authors .

What was in the apparatus before the click. (arXiv:quant-ph/0411039v5 UPDATED)

TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe an experiment which, for explaining the results, seems to beg the hypothesis of full and empty waves, i.e., that there exist full waves and empty wave.

Experimental Test of Bell's Inequalities Using Time- Varying Analyzers

TL;DR: In this article, the relationship of linear polarizations of pairs of photons was measured with time-varying analyzers, and the results were in good agreement with quantum mechanical predictions but violate Bell's inequalities by 5 standard deviations.

Experimental test of the de Broglie guided-wave theory for photons.

TL;DR: A two-photon interference experiment has been carried out to test a prediction of the de Broglie guided-wave theory, according to which the waves have a physical reality in addition to yielding photon detection probabilities.

Quantum-optical predictions for an experiment on the de Broglie waves detection

TL;DR: In this paper, an experimental apparatus to detect de Broglie waves is discussed, where wave packets of two photons generated in the parametric-down conversion are overlapped in a modified Mach-Zehnder interferometer.

Bell's theorem: Proposition of realizable experiment using linear momenta

TL;DR: In this paper, a realizable experiment using linear momenta for testing the Bell inequalities is presented, and the proposed experimental setup employs only standard modern optical devices, and it is shown that linear momental momenta can be used to test the Bell inequality.

Neutron interferometry can prove (or refute) the existence of de Broglie's waves

TL;DR: In this article, an experimental apparatus based on neutron interferometry is presented which can in principle decide the question whether the empty waves of de Broglie really exist or not, and it is shown that the empty wave of deBroglie does not exist.
