  A recently proposed model of the Dirac electron, which describes observed
properties of the particle correctly, is in the present paper shown to be also
able to explain quantum interference by classical probabilities. According to
this model, the electron is not point-like, but rather an "entity" formed by a
fast periodic motion of a quantum whose energy is equal to the rest energy of
the electron. Only after a time span equal to the period of that periodic
motion the "entity" becomes the electron, with its properties, mass, spin,
charge, etc.. When in motion with respect to the observer, the "dynamic
substructure" of the electron described in this way, leads to a certain time
structure of its detection probability, if the space-time point of detection is
taken as the space-time point of the quantum. In the typical "two slit"
experimental situation, this leads to a periodic detection probability with a
frequency of twice the De Broglie frequency. This result is identical to the
result obtained by the quantum mechanical description of the moving electron by
the free particle wave function. The different interpretations of the
established interference pattern, inherent in the two alternative theoretical
descriptions is outlined, and the relation between the two descriptions
discussed. It is concluded that quantum interference is well explained with
classical probabilities, without quantum mechanics and without paradoxes. In
view of the demonstrated merits of the model on the one hand, and the new
aspects regarding the established theories it implies on the other, a more
thorough investigation of its role in relation to relativistic quantum
mechanics, and to quantum field theory is suggested. Some of the interesting
aspects are summarized.
