On the atomic and subatomic scale, matter seems to behave in ways that we, in the macro world, would generally think of as impossible. Particles can exist in two different places at once, and particle-like interferences in space are thought to leap in and out of existence.
The various properties of atomic particles are called quantum states, and the theory of quantum superposition says that particles can exist in multiple quantum states at once.
There’s one interpretation of the meaning of quantum mechanics that manages to skip a lot of the unphysical weirdness of the mainstream interpretations: it's de Broglie-Bohm pilot wave theory.
