 **Quantum states** describe the complete information content of a quantum system. Like classical bits, qubits occupy definite states; unlike classical bits, qubits can exist in superposition—a linear combination of basis states. A quantum state of $n$ qubits is represented as a vector $|\psi\rangle$ in a complex Hilbert space $\mathbb{C}^{2^n}$, normalized so $\langle\psi|\psi\rangle = 1$. **Quantum states** describe the complete information content of a quantum system.
