The Quantim Processing Unit is built on top of basic entities called QuBits. This is a physical realization of the quantum equivalent of a bit. However unlike a bit which can only take one or the other state (0 or 1) the QuBit can exist simultaneously in both states. The QuBits are on an atomic level electrons (the type of their spin are their states) or photons (their type of polarization are the states). TLDR: QuBits can take a continuous range of states and is not limited by the power of 2
I could be wrong. This is based on my very limited understanding of quantum computing.
