Though a qubit may, for a while, be in a state of superposition between 0 and 1, it must eventually choose between the two.
Just a quick layman question on the above. It is my understanding that subatomic particles exist in two or more states until an intrusive event happens (such as observation) and it is that event that forces the particle to "choose". Is this correct or am I mis-reading?
