- The combination of sound or light waves
- Quantum superposition, or as applied in Quantum computation
- Superposition theorem, in electronics
- Superposition principle applies to linear systems of algebraic equations, linear differential equations, or systems of linear differential equations. Two important classes of quantities that occur in linear systems are Vector Fields and Time-Varying Signals.
In logic, superposition may refer to Superposition calculus, used for equational first-order reasoning.
In other physical sciences, it has other meanings:
