Quantum computing.
In quantum computing, superposition is the ability of a quantum system to be in two states simultaneously.
For example, the ability of a qubit to encode 1 and 0 simultaneously.
This attribute of superposition contributes to the ability of a quantum computer to process vastly more information, faster, compared with a conventional (binary) computer.
