What does "an n$n$-qubit array can represent 2^n$2^n$ possible array elements" mean?

I read "...an 𝑛 Qubit Array$n$ qubit array can represent 2^𝑛$2^n$ possible array elements.." on this post. A classical n$n$-bit array can represent 2^n$2^n$ possible array elements as well, so I'm confused about the difference. Does it mean that the 2^n$2^n$ possibilities represented by the n$n$-qubit array are represented at the same time?

What does "an n-qubit array can represent 2^n possible array elements" mean?

I read "...an 𝑛 Qubit Array can represent 2^𝑛 possible array elements.." on this post. A classical n-bit array can represent 2^n possible array elements as well, so I'm confused about the difference. Does it mean that the 2^n possibilities represented by the n-qubit array are represented at the same time?
