  A corpuscular simulation model of optical phenomena that does not require the
knowledge of the solution of a wave equation of the whole system and reproduces
the results of Maxwell's theory by generating detection events one-by-one is
discussed. The event-based corpuscular model gives a unified description of
multiple-beam fringes of a plane parallel plate and single-photon Mach-Zehnder
interferometer, Wheeler's delayed choice, photon tunneling, quantum eraser,
two-beam interference, Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen-Bohm and Hanbury Brown-Twiss
experiments. The approach is illustrated by application to a recent proposal
for a quantum-controlled delayed choice experiment, demonstrating that also
this thought experiment can be understood in terms of particle processes only.
