Consider the double-slit experiment using a low-intensity source of monochromatic photons: If the intensity is low enough, one can observe the photons, one at a time, slowly developing an interference pattern on a photographic plate.
The interference pattern, over time, resembles more and more the continuous probability density function associated with the wave function, i.e. it “converges” to the PDF.
I have just started reading about the different types of convergence in probability theory:
Convergence in Distribution
Convergence in Probability
Almost Sure Convergence
Etc.
Has anybody found QM literature researching the types of convergence that occur in QM random processes?
Thanks in advance.
