A classical computer has a memory (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_memory) made up of bits (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bit), where each bit is represented by either a one or a zero. A quantum computer maintains a sequence of qubits (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qubit). A single qubit can represent a one, a zero, or any quantum superposition (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_superposition) of those two qubit states (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qubit#Qubit_states);[11] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_computing#cite_note-nielchuan-11):13–16 a pair of qubits can be in any quantum superposition of 4 states,[11] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_computing#cite_note-nielchuan-11):16 and three qubits in any superposition of 8 states. In general, a quantum computer with {\displaystyle n}https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/media/math/render/svg/a601995d55609f2d9f5e233e36fbe9ea26011b3b qubits can be in an arbitrary superposition of up to {\displaystyle 2^{n}}https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/media/math/render/svg/8226f30650ee4fe4e640c6d2798127e80e9c160d different states simultaneously
