Superposition (noun)

A concept in quantum mechanics, which states that a particle can exist in multiple states or locations simultaneously.

Origin:

Derived from the words "super" and "position".

Examples:

1. Superposition is a fundamental principle of quantum mechanics.
2. The concept of superposition challenges our classical understanding of the world.
3. The Schrödinger equation describes how superposition evolves over time.
4. Superposition leads to many strange and seemingly paradoxical consequences, such as quantum entanglement.
5. The observation of superposition has been experimentally verified in many different systems.
