What is the difference between $|0\rangle+|1\rangle$ and a balanced mixture of $|0\rangle$ a... [duplicate]

Suppose I have a quantum state $\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}|0\rangle+\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}|1\rangle$. Also I have a mixture of two quantum states $S_{1} = |0\rangle$ and $S_{2} = |1\rangle$. In this mixture $50\% …
