 Superposition - Philosophy Dictionary of Arguments
 
Superposition: Superposition in quantum mechanics means that a particle can exist in multiple states simultaneously. It is a fundamental principle, stating that until observed, a particle's properties are in a blend of possible states, and only upon measurement, it assumes a definite state. See also Quantum Mechanics, Measurements, Principles, Observation.
