Submitted to Contest #196

Quantum superposition is the ability of a quantum system to exist in two states simultaneously. In 1801, Thomas Young demonstrated this concept with his double-slit experiment. Shining light through two small slits would result in two distinct beams of light, were the trajectories of light governed by classical physics. The observation of an interference pattern showed this to be untrue. Photons of light did not go through one slit or the other but took a multitude of possible paths.
