  ABSTRACT: Assuming the Dirac wavefunction describes the state of a single particle. We propose that the relation derived by Schrödinger, which contains the Zitterbewegung term, is a position equation for an amplitude modulated wave. Namely, the elementary constituents are amplitude modulated waves. Indeed, we surmise that a second wave is associated with the particle, which corresponds to a signal. At the same time, we interpret that Broglie’s wave corresponds to a carrier. Furthermore, the quantum object is a recording medium and, like in a hologram, information encoded on its surface. We suggest a description and the cause of the Zitterbewegung heretofore never considered regarding the previous assertions. Hereunder, we shall also apply the quantum amplitude modulation interpretation to the single-photon wave function by Bialynicki-Birula. The predictions are testable, thence providing evidence for the proposed hypothesis.
