   Is there a term to describe the phenomenon that observation seems to effect the outcome of superposition?

   The term you seem to be looking for is called the "observer effect." Terms that are also very closely related are "wavefunction collapse" and "decoherence."

   Thank you very much. I will research the term "observer effect".
