Quantum Computing, Better than Ternary Computing?

[GWestphal]

What are the differences between quantum computing and ternary computing?

What are the differences between quantum computing and ternary computing?

From what I understand...

A standard sequence of n bits has 2^n configurations, and can be in only one of those configurations at a time.

A standard sequence of n trits has 3^n configurations, and can be in only one of those configurations at a time.

A standard sequence of n qubits can be in any subset of its 2^n configurations simultaneously.

A standard sequence of n qutrits can be in any subset of its 3^n configurations simultaneously.

A standard sequence of n qubits can be in any subset of its 2^n configurations simultaneously.

A standard sequence of n qutrits can be in any subset of its 3^n configurations simultaneously.

Moreover, any particular qubit can itself be in a superposition state. That is, if I say "on" is state |1> and "off" is state |2>, any of the n qubits could occupy a state |S>

|S> = a|1> + b|2>

Where a, b are complex numbers such that a*a+b*b = 1.
