The state of the system "collapses" from an indeterminate state with a wavefunction spread over multiple possible outcomes to a definite single reality. Illustration of wavefunction collapse due ...

Lots of pop-physics posts talk about the weirdness of quantum entanglement, but skip past how it's generated. Here's a brief explanation of four ways to create quantum entanglement between two ...

Qubits are different from traditional bits because until they are read out (meaning measured), they can exist in an indeterminate state where we can't tell whether they'll be measured as a 0 or a 1.

In other words, researchers can use the indeterminate state of whether or not a photon is in a crystal cavity to represent a qubit. The logic gates act on two qubits together, ...

Before that, it’s in an indeterminate state doing nothing in particular. So Erwin Schrödinger proposed that we put a cat in a box along with a particle that has a 50 percent chance of turning ...
