# [https://arxiv.org/abs/1505.04955 OGHW(2016)] The first paper that talks about and proves the no-superposition theorem. Also in this paper, they present a probabilistic protocol for superposing two arbitrary (but not completely unknown) states where we know the overlaps of them with a fixed reference state. this protocol, is also restricted to a set of input states.
