Wavefunction: superposition is not the lack of knowledge
A wavefunction is a mathematical object which represents a quantum state. Many would have been introduced to wavefunctions from Schrödinger’s cat or the double-slit experiment. However, there is a more straightforward way to present the concept of wavefunction without resorting to the complex historical development of physics. Often, the wavefunction is introduced by not knowing exactly where a particle is or its state. This is inaccurate because wavefunction is about something other than the lack of knowledge but the nature of quantum state and measurement. ...
