Superposition: A Unique Quantum Property

Superposition is a fundamental quantum property that allows qubits to exist in multiple states at the same time, rather than being restricted to a single state like classical bits, which can only represent either a 0 or a 1.

In practical terms, superposition means a qubit can represent both 0 and 1 simultaneously, or even any combination of these states, depending on its probability distribution.

This characteristic exponentially increases the computational power of quantum systems because, with each additional qubit in superposition, the number of possible states that can be processed doubles
