• Abstract: The Bloch sphere is an elegant tool for representing single-qubit states. However, a widely accepted generalization for multi-qubit systems with entanglement remains absent. We propose a novel geometric model extending the Bloch sphere representation to arbitrary $N$-qubit systems using $2^N-1$ spheres. We demonstrate that any pure 2-qubit state is uniquely described by three spheres: two for individual qubits and a third encapsulating bipartite entanglement. Generalizing this, we establish an $N$-qubit parameterization through the hierarchical application of controlled rotation gates along the $Z$ and $Y$ axes. We formally prove a strict bijection between the standard state vector representation and our model's angular parameters. This framework provides an intuitive visualization of multiple entanglement, offering potential computational advantages for quantum simulators and new analytical perspectives on quantum gates.
