Thanks, this is also very enlightening! On some level I understand why pop science tends to be the go-to approach for many people to understand things like this; it requires a lot of patience and understanding to fully wrap one's head around all the detail and nuance here. :)

Thank you! This is very helpful and illuminates the whole thing for me. Cheers!

Got it. So what I'm gathering here is that really the idea that something is in more than one place at the same time isn't necessarily true, but rather superposition suggests that there are various places something COULD be at a given time, not necessarily that it is in both those places at the...

Thanks for the quick response - I assume that answers (1) but not (2). Regarding your response, hmm a fogbank consists of separate particles, but isn't the idea of superposition that it's one thing, just in multiple places at the same time? Just wondering as the analogy doesn't make sense to me...

Hi all, I'm a computer scientist who has been getting an increasing fascination with quantum physics. I admit I am a novice in this respect. I had a question just for my own learning and understanding, not related to a class or anything like that. :) In learning more about superposition and...
