1 Another view of superposition

The quantum states of some system are solutions of a linear PDE. There is a basis set of solutions. Linear combos are also solutions. That's superposition.

2 Simon's periodicity

Blackbox $F: \{0,1\}^n \to \{0,1\}^n$

For some unknown $c$, $F(x\oplus c) = F(x)$.

Determine $c$.
