Superposition

Superposition may refer to:

Science and mathematics

• Law of superposition in geology and archaeology, which states that sedimentary layers are deposited in a time sequence, with the oldest on the bottom and the youngest on the top
• Superposition calculus, used in logic for equational first-order reasoning
• Superposition principle in physics and engineering, asserting the linearity of many physical systems, including:
  • Superposition theorem for electric circuits
  • Superposition of gravitational potentials
  • Dalton's law of partial pressures, superposition in fluid mechanics
  • Quantum superposition, in quantum physics
• In chemistry, a property of two structures that have the same chirality
• In Euclidean geometry, the principle of superposition is a method of proof
• The Kolmogorov–Arnold superposition theorem, representing a multivariate function as a superposition of univariate functions

Music and art

• "Superposition", a song by Young the Giant from the 2018 album Mirror Master
• "Superposition", a song by Daniel Caesar from the 2019 album Case Study 01
• In music theory, "reaching over"
