Represented on such a sphere, a classical bit could only be at the "North Pole" or the "South Pole", in the locations where | 0 ⟩ {\displaystyle |0\rangle } and | 1 ⟩ {\displaystyle |1\rangle } are respectively. The rest of the surface of the sphere is inaccessible to a classical bit, but a pure qubit state can be represented by any point on the surface. For example, the pure qubit state | 0 ⟩ + i | 1 ⟩ 2 {\displaystyle {|0\rangle +i|1\rangle } \over {\sqrt {2}}} would lie on the equator of the sphere, on the positive y axis.
