• Abstract: Two essential shortcomings of the axiomatics of wave mechanics are revealed, which make its consistent interpretation impossible. The first is that the standard formulation of the superposition principle contradicts the exact solutions of the Schr\"{o}dinger equation in the problem of scattering a particle on a one-dimensional delta potentia. Thus, the theorem on the irreducibility of the Schr\"{o}dinger representation is erroneous, and the wave function describing the state of a particle as a closed system can be either pure or mixed. The second shortcoming is the incompleteness of the Born, statistical interpretation of the wave function describing the pure state. It is shown that its amplitude and phase uniquely determine two fields of the particle's momentum; the Schr\"{o}dinger equation can be written as a closed system of local equations for these fields.

  We propose an interpretative framework for quantum mechanics corresponding to the specifications of Louis de Broglie's double-solution theory. The principle is to decompose the evolution of a quantum system into two wave functions. For Schr"odinger, the particles are extended and the square of the module of the (internal) wave function of an electron corresponds to the density of its charge in space.
