Quantum Superposition

The idea that a quantum particle can be in several states at once when not being observed. Coined in Schrodinger’s Cat thought experiment

Formula

• $e_1=(1,0)=|0⟩$ as the spin up of an electron
• $e_2=(0,1)=|1⟩$ as the spin down of an electron The system state is: $\alpha =\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}(e_1+e_2)=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}(|0⟩+|1⟩)$ Look into Quantum Operation
