In quantum physics, everything behaves like a wave.

Two waves can pass through each other and they add up when they overlap.

If you pass a wave and its negation through each other, when you add them up you get... zero.

This is simplified as particles act like waves in abstract spaces rather than 3 dimensions (but also in 3 dimensional space too). They also don't have to be zero in every dimension they previously occupied.
