How many electrons per bit?

"Quad level" is a misnomer: with 4 bits per cell, that actually means 16 levels for the electronics to distinguish. So with 16 levels and the cells getting ever tinier, how many electrons does each cell store? Divide that by 16, and you know how many electrons are used to store each bit. Does anyone know what the number is?
