Quantum Superposition: The Bane of My Existence

Quantum superposition: the ultimate party trick for your local physicist's dinner party. "Hey, Bob, I've got a qubit in a superposition of |0 and |1!" "Oh, yeah, me too! I've got a Schrödinger cat in a superposition of alive and dead!"

But let's be real, folks, quantum superposition is a real pain in the neck. You try to measure something, and suddenly it's like, "Oh, no, no, no, I'm both |0 and |1, and also maybe a little bit of |2 and |3, and don't even get me started on the wave functions!"
