I was reading about how scientists have been able to perform experiments and successfully managed to get a beryllium atom into a superposed state whereby the atom had a 50/50 change of having its spin as either up or down.
But how can they tell that its in a superposition as surely the act of measuring the atoms state would destroy the superposition and cause it to take 1 form or the other?
Thanks
