wavefunction - What does superposition mean in quantum mechanics?


What does superposition mean in quantum mechanics?


When I say $A+B=C$ (forces). I can mean push something with force $A$ + force $B$ together, and that is same as I push it with force $C$.


But when I say wavefunction $A$ + $B$ is also a solution of Schrodinger equation, what do I mean? The physics between them obviously is not same. Is it just something pure mathematical?

classical mechanics - Moment of a force about a given axis (Torque) - Scalar or vectorial?

I am studying Statics and saw that: The moment of a force about a given axis (or Torque) is defined by the equation: $M_X = (\vec r \times \...
