The concepts of quantum superposition and entanglement are at the heart of quantum mechanics, but they often cause confusion. This paper shows that the concepts are intimately related to quantum coherence. Through examining the traditional arguments, the paper reveals that the essence of quantum superposition is a statistical superposition of coherent states, while quantum entanglement results from the coherence of entangled particles as well as the common rule governing the measurements.
