A uniform quantum superposition assigns the same probability amplitude to each computational-basis state. For qubits, there are such states.
The factor follows from normalization: squared amplitudes must sum to one. This state is the product state , so a large number of nonzero basis amplitudes does not by itself imply entanglement. A computational-basis measurement returns one string with probability ; it does not reveal all amplitudes. [ref]
