Superposition is a quantum principle that refers to a physical system that exists in multiple states simultaneously based on a specific set of solutions. The most commonly used set of solutions is all possible solutions, also known as Hilbert space. In quantum physics, the Hilbert space is the mathematical representation of all the possible states the system can take. If my system is a spinning electron, its Hilbert space is spin up and spin down, since these are the two possible options for the spin direction.
