!!! Overview
[{$pagename}] is a basic unit of [data] in computing and digital communications.
[{$pagename}] can have only one of two values, and may therefore be physically implemented with a two-[state] device. These values are most commonly represented as either a 0 or 1.
The term [{$pagename}] is a portmanteau of [binary] [digit]

/%!! Between a bit and a [qbit]
Modern digital circuits are based on [binary] [bits] that can take on one of the two values, 0 and 1, and are stored using well-developed technologies at room temperature. At the other extreme are [quantum] circuits based on [qbit]s which are delicate superpositions of 0 and 1, requiring the development of novel technologies typically working at cryogenic temperatures.
