The linear superposition principle and the quantum entanglement phenomenon play crucial roles in the fields of quantum computing and information. Their current interpretations are not satisfactory. To reduce the measurement-bias of the current interpretation, this paper presents an alternative interpretation for the quantum linear superposition principle: A physical quantity of a quantum object keeps oscillating between the allowed values of the physical quantity. Thus, a quantum system is inherently deterministic, but it appears to be probabilistic because of randomness in timings of measurements. Then, to show that the so-called quantum entangled need not interact or communicate with each other, the paper presents an alternative interpretation of the quantum entanglement phenomenon: Quantum objects appear to be entangled if and when each physical quantity of these objects undergoes synchronous oscillations. An experimental method is presented to validate this interpretation. Quantum entanglement due to synchronous oscillations can lead to more and better ways of emulated quantum computers. A possible schema of an emulated quantum computer is presented.
