About Bits
The bit (b) is the fundamental unit of digital information - a single binary digit: 0 or 1. Coined by John Tukey in 1948; formalised by Claude Shannon. Physically realised as transistor states (SRAM/DRAM), magnetic domains (HDD), charge levels in NAND flash (MLC=2, TLC=3, QLC=4 bits per cell). Shannon entropy: a coin flip = 1 bit; a card drawn from a 52-card deck ≈ 5.7 bits. 1 bit = 1/4 nibble = 1/8 byte.
About Yobibits
A yobibit (Yibit) = 2⁸⁰ bits ≈ 1.21 × 10²⁴ bits (IEC 80000-13, 2008). An 80-bit physical address space would provide 2⁸⁰ bytes = 128 YiB of byte-addressable memory - physically preposterous by any current forecast. World manufactured storage in 2023 ≈ 10 ZB ≈ 0.00828 Yibit. A 267-qubit quantum register has a state space of 2²⁶⁷ ≈ 1 Yibit in bits. IEC 2022 added 'ronbi' (Ri, 2⁹⁰) and 'quetti' (Qi, 2¹⁰⁰) for theoretical future use. 1 Yibit = 2⁸⁰ bits = 128 ZiB.
