The Photon Splitting in a Quantum Superposition

The photon after having been emitted by a source can be put into a superposition of paths by guiding it through a special kind of crystal which when interacting with the photon causes it to split along two paths horizontal and vertical. No one can predict with certainty which path the photon is on even the person who prepared the photon superposition cannot predict that the unpredictability of the photon path is absolute unlike in the case of randomization causing their microflection.
