Specific features of the behavior of quantum particles in different experimental situations are considered. The variants of two-beam interference of single photon and other quantum particles, as well as their ability to form “standing” and “progressive” waves with the interference minima, i.e., “dead” zones in the propagation path, are studied. We also consider some type of quantum particle teleportation in an unconventional understanding of this word, where elementary particles overcome regions of the space where they cannot be, or rather the borders where the probability of finding them is zero. At these boundaries there is no pulse impact of particles on anything, it is as if they are unobservable. When observing three-beam interference, it turns out that all three modes should be present simultaneously in the light field prior to photodetection. If each mode involves a photon, it contradicts the energy conservation law, it is indicative of the fact that the observed quantity (number of photons in the field) has no any particular value prior to the measurement (a priori) unless the quantum system is in the eigen state of a measured value (Fock state).
