Deterministic actions on stochastic ensembles of particles can replicate wavelike behaviour of quantum mechanics: does it matter?

The probabilistic interpretation of quantum mechanics has been a point of discussion since the earliest days of the theory. The development of quantum technologies transfer these discussions from philosophical interest to practical importance. We propose a synthesis of ideas appeared from the field's founders to modern contextual approaches. The concept is illustrated by a simple numerical experiment imitating photon interference in two beamsplitters. This example demonstrates that deterministic physical principles can replicate wavelike probabilistic effects when applied to stochastic ensembles of particles. We also reference other established experimental evidence of the same phenomena. Consequences for quantum information technologies are briefly discussed as well.
