Quantum Superposition
Being in many states at once.
Quantum superposition is a fundamental principle of quantum mechanics that states a quantum system, such as an electron or a photon, can exist in multiple states simultaneously until a measurement is performed. In classical physics, an object is always in a single, definite state.

## The Power of Phase
- Superposition: $|\psi
angle = \sum c_i |i
angle$
- Interference: Adjusting $c_i$ to amplify or suppress outcomes.
- Collapse: The transition from $|\psi
angle$ to a single $|i
angle$ upon interaction.
