I can’t be the only one who absolutely hates the idea of a particle having two states at once, right? Is it just a personal thing or is it tied somehow to the fact that autistic people generally have more binary thinking?

Forgive me if it’s a stupid question. I’m still trying to figure out how this all works and whether I’m autistic or not.

    … the state of a quantum particle is fundamentally ambiguous before measurement. This is demonstrated by experiments breaking the Bell inequality …

    No, the state is not what’s ambiguous, but rather a single, definitive value of the variable is what does not exist unless it’s already in an eigenstate of said variable.

    Yes, I am aware of what you meant, but your wording may be misleading.
