In quantum superposition, a particle like an electron can be in multiple states at once. It’s like the electron is in many places or spinning in different directions—all at the same time. But once we observe or measure it, the superposition “collapses” and we see only one outcome.

 

Superposition is what makes quantum computers so powerful. Instead of just 0 or 1 like in normal computers, quantum bits (qubits) can be 0 and 1 at the same time!
