Superposition Example Cases

Uncertainty Principle in Quantum Superposition

Quantum Superposition: the phenomenon where particles exist in multiple states at once. But what about when it gets weird?

Here are some real-life example cases:

Example 1: Schrödinger's Cat

Imagine a cat in a box with a radioactive atom. If the atom decays, a hammer kills the cat. But if you don't open the box, the cat is alive. But if you do open the box, the cat is... well, that's the problem.

Example 2: Quantum Eraser

A particle is in a superposition of states. If you measure it, the superposition collapses. But what if the measurement is done by a human?
