   $$|\psi\rangle = \alpha|0\rangle + \beta|1\rangle$$
   where $\alpha$ and $\beta$ are complex probability amplitudes, constrained by the normalization condition $|\alpha|^2 + |\beta|^2 = 1$. This ability to hold multiple potential values at once is responsible for the exponential growth in computational space available to quantum processors. A system of $n$ qubits can represent $2^n$ classical states simultaneously. Qubits are often physically realized using systems like trapped ions, superconducting circuits, or the spin states of electrons, though the preferred medium is generally considered …
