Superposition

Superposition can refer to:

  • The superposition principle in physics, mathematics, and engineering, describes the overlapping of waves. Particular applications include:
    • Quantum superposition, in quantum physics
    • Superposition theorem, in electronics
  • The superposition calculus, used in logic for equational first-order reasoning
  • The law of superposition in geology and archaeology, which states that sedimentary layers are deposited in a time sequence, with the oldest on the bottom and the youngest on the top
  • In chemistry, a property of two structures that have the same chirality
  • Superposition (EP), an album by the band Kling Klang released in 2002
