    Wait. Could Quantum ducks in a superposition state exist? And how would those be a duck or not?

      This wouldnt work because if quantums are grouped together they lose their quantum properties. Thus a duck in a superposition can unfortunately not exist :)

        Source? I’ll continue to believe in my quantum super-duck until proven otherwise!

          There is no definite proof, there is also no definite proof that a quantum can even be in a superposition at all (in the sense od being in two states at once) becuae we cannot observe it. Physicist Niels Bohr for example believes that the outcome is already set long before we observe it.
