This paper identifies the substantial nature of microworld wave-corpuscle duality and sets out fundamental differences between the microworld and macroworld wave-corpuscle duality. Wave-corpuscle duality of microscopic objects over a century has been among the most intriguing features of microworld. The fact is that microworld objects typically exhibit corpuscularity properties, that is, properties of strictly localized objects, and at the same time in special conditions have properties of spatially distributed and spatially unbounded media. Wave-corpuscle properties of microscopic objects were revealed during diffraction experiments when moving microscopic objects are passing through slots, through crystal lattices, nearby edges of bodies etc. Microscopic objects which have cleared diffractive obstacles (diffracted microobjects) leave spot traces on observation screen which speaks for their corpuscularity while distribution of numerous traces reminds in its nature intensity distribution of diffracted purely wave flows. Experiments prove that wave-corpuscle properties are exhibited by each individually diffracted microobject. Substantial nature of microobjects is still unknown. According to quantum physics a

Abstract In the Scale Relativity Theory, wave-corpuscle duality is analyzed both in the Schrödinger and in the Madelung multifractal scenarios. Therefore, in the Schrödinger scenario, this duality implies the functionality of a multifractal sinus – Gordon differential equation based on 2×2 matrices of real variable elements, while in the Madelung scenario, the same duality implies the solving of the multifractal hydrodynamic equation system.

Wave-corpuscle duality is the property of light. However, the present optical communication systems are all based on the property of wave. The thesis proposes the sixth generation optical communication system-quantum optical communication, and a new method of modulation-soliton modulating quantum state.
