⚛️🧪A #quantum superposition, in which a wave function contains 2 possibilities simultaneously, does not mean that both possibilities occur. It means that one *or* the other may occur; e.g. a quantum particle cannot be observed to go in 2 directions at once. profmattstrassler.com/2025/03/06/c...
Can a Quantum Particle Move in Two Directions at Once?
A wave function superposition shows a quantum particle moving in either direction, but the particle itself can only be moving in one direction OR the other.
