Entanglement vs. Superposition — What's the Difference?

To cause to become twisted together or caught in a snarl or entwining mass

The act of superposing or the state of being superposed

To involve in a complicated situation or in circumstances from which it is difficult to disengage

(Geology) The principle that in a group of stratified sedimentary rocks the lowest were the earliest to be deposited.

(Physics) To cause (the quantum states of two or more objects) to become correlated in such a way that they remain correlated, even though the objects are separated spatially.

(Physics) The combination of two or more physical states, such as waves, to form a new physical state in accordance with the superposition principle.

The act of entangling.

To superpose.

The state or condition of being entangled; intricate and confused involution.

The placing of one thing on top of another.

The condition of being deeply involved and intricated (with politics, a group, another person, etc.)

(geology) The deposition of one stratum over another; the principle that in a series of sedimentary strata, the lower strata are the older.

The condition, or an instance, of being romantically or sexually involved with another person; an affair.

(quantum mechanics) The situation in quantum mechanics where two or more quantum states are added together (superposed) to yield another valid quantum state.

That which entangles; an involvement, a complication; an intricacy; a perplexity.

The act of superposing, or the state of being superposed; as, the superposition of rocks; the superposition of one plane figure on another, in geometry.

(military) An obstruction placed in front or on the flank of a fortification, to impede an enemy's approach.

(geology) the deposition of one geological stratum on another

(nautical) An obstruction of cables and spars across a river or harbour entrance.

(geology) the principle that in a series of stratified sedimentary rocks the lowest stratum is the oldest

(physics) quantum entanglement

(geometry) the placement of one object ideally in the position of another one in order to show that the two coincide

State of being entangled; intricate and confused involution; that which entangles; intricacy; perplexity.

The placement of one thing on top of another

An extensive low obstacle formed of stakes, stumps, or the like, connected by wires, ropes, or the like.

An obstruction of cables and spars across a river or harbor entrance.

An intricate trap that entangles or ensnares its victim
