The Bloch sphere is a geometrical representation of the state space of a two-level quantum mechanical system, commonly referred to as a qubit. In quantum mechanics, qubits are the fundamental units of quantum information, analogous to classical bits, but they can exist in superpositions of 0 and 1 states. The Bloch sphere provides a visualization of the pure states of a qubit as points on the surface of a sphere.

A more concrete and easier to understand version of it is the more photon-specific Poincaré sphere, have a look at that one first.
