For nearly a century, physicists have explained the peculiarities of their quantum properties — such as wave - particle duality and indeterminism — by invoking an entity called the wave function, which exists in a superposition of all possible states at once right up until someone observes it, at which point it is said to «collapse» into a single state.

But standard quantum mechanics doesn't fully explain why large objects don't exist in superpositions, or how and why wave functions collapse.

To illustrate, he broke a piece of chalk in two and then tried to explain why you never saw superpositions in real life.

To explain the near - perfect performance of plants, biophysicists reasoned, the energy must exist in a quantum superposition state, traveling along all molecular pathways at the same time — similar to the quantum computer that could simultaneously search all entries in a database.

Their work focuses on complex dynamical systems whose statistical behaviour can be explained in terms of a superposition of simpler underlying dynamics.

Internal variability as estimated from observations can't explain sea - ice loss Superposition of a linear trend and internal variability explains sea - ice loss Observational sea - ice record shows no signs of self - acceleration

A composite analysis of satellite - based SST measurements reveals that in the tropical region the average strength of the storm - induced sea surface cooling can be explained by the superposition of an effect due to the storm intensity and an effect associated with the translation speed, and implies that the variability of upper ocean stratification may not be an important factor in this region
