A superposition principle is considered both in classical mechanics and in the quantum logic approach to quantum mechanics. It is shown, roughly speaking, that in classical mechanics the only type of superposition of states is a mixture and that no pure state is a nontrivial superposition of other pure states. In quantum mechanics it is shown that, if a superposition principle holds, then the quantum logic is a complete atomic lattice.

Here we present the physical side of the quantum mechanics (QM) that emerges from the Scale-Symmetric Theory (SST). We showed that the quantum superposition is misinterpreted. The key to understand QM is the difference between quantum coherence and quantum entanglement. We as well explained what conditions and structures lead to relativistic invariants such as electric charge and spin, and how this affects the superposition.

In this paper,some mistakable statements and explanations for the state superposition principle of quantum mechanics are analyzed and compared.The status of the state superposition principle in quantum mechanics is discussed,and some opinions about the teaching methods of the state superposition principle are given.
