Introduction to random time and quantum randomness /
This book is made up of two essays on the role of time in probability and quantum physics. In the first one, K.L. Chung explains why, in his view, probability theory starts where random time appears. This idea is illustrated in various probability schemes and the deep impact of those random times on...
