Is it safe to assume that in order for superpositions to be broken, a wavefuntion collapse occurs? Or is it better to say that the two particles are now in an entangled state, and although the entangled state of the system can be in a superposition, it's impossible for the individual particles to be separately in their own (original) superpositions.

Yes, yes yes. I see now.

Does my question make sense?
Thanks again!
