   Quantum Mechanics and Observation
   Some interpretations of quantum mechanics flirt with the LNC through the concept of superposition. A particle existing in a state described by a linear combination of two distinct eigenstates ($|\psi\rangle = \alpha|0\rangle + \beta|1\rangle$) is neither purely in state $|0\rangle$ nor purely in state $|1\rangle$. While strictly speaking this is a probabilistic statement regarding potential outcomes, some philosophical readings conflate superposition with a mo…
