Interpretations of quantum mechanics

Can tiny particles behave in ways that defy our everyday logic?

Imagine you're flipping a coin in the air, expecting it to land heads or tails. Now, imagine if the coin could land both heads and tails at the same time until you look at it.

In the world of very small particles, like electrons, they can be in multiple states at once, like our coin being both heads and tails until we check. This is called superposition.

Example

A particle is in a state where it's both spinning clockwise and counterclockwise, but we only see it spinning clockwise when we measure it.

Remember this

Superposition means particles can exist in multiple states simultaneously until observed.
