Description: Quantum Mechanic-like superpositions for Perl
The Quantum::Superpositions module provides a new scalar data structure: the
superposition. In a metaphor drawn from quantum mechanics, superpositions store
a collection of values by overlaying them in parallel superimposed states
within a single scalar variable.
.
Under the standard interpretation of quantum mechanics, until they are
observed, particles exist only as a discontinuous probability function. Under
the Cophenhagen Interpretation, this situation is often visualized by imagining
the state of an unobserved particle to be a ghostly overlay of all its possible
observable states simultaneously. For example, a particle that might be
observed in state A, B, or C may be considered to be in a pseudo-state where it
is simultaneously in states A, B, and C. Such a particle is said to be in a
superposition of states.
