A “qubit” (quantum bit) is the fundamental unit of information used in quantum computing, analogous to a classical bit but able to exist in superposition of 0 and 1. Therefore, the term is specifically associated with quantum computing and not with cloud services, visible-light or balloon communication technologies.
